Tasting notes from Wine Enthusiast
The name Tradition in Loire terms often means no wood aging. This wine is certainly all fruit: 75% Gamay and 25% Pinot Noir, from the small area of Chateaumeillant south of Sancerre. The grapes give a juicy, red cherry and berry-flavored wine that's fresh and light. After nearly four years, it is ready to drink.
— Domaine Siret-Courtaud 2012 Tradition Pinot Noir-Gamay (Châteaumeillant) (86/100)
Produced from Gamay in a small enclave of vines south of Sancerre, this is a cherry-blossom-perfumed wine, bright and crisp with red-cherry flavors. It is ready now.
— Henri Bourgeois 2016 Les Amphores Rosé (Châteaumeillant) (86/100)
