High yields for the 2014 vintage had no negative impact on fruit quality in Sancerre, and who better to make the most of such a benevolent vintage than the Dezat brothers (all five of them)? Aromas of lime, greengage, nettles and – well – white Sancerre; but its impeccable balance sets this above the vast majority of the appellation’s other wines. There’s also an appealing sense of discretion to it, as there is to everything the Dezats produce. Would be utterly marvellous with a goats cheese salad; no less so with fish finger sandwiches.
Will Heslop, Wine Buying

Low yields and a lengthy maceration underwrite a generous colour and a classic nose of cassis, bell pepper and soft spice. The palate is fruity, with hints of mint and even eucalypt, and nothing leafy, despite the whistle-clean acidity. Notes reminiscent of white chocolate on the finish are extremely satisfying and distinctive - in a good sense! Drink now to 2020.

Pineau d'Aunis, aka Chenin Noir, is a historic Loire grape variety from Touraine and Anjou making light red wines once sought after by the kings of France and England. Bellivière farms 13 hectares in the appellations of Jasnières and Coteaux de Loir, with more common plantings of Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Gamay alongside their Pineau d’Aunis.

Pineau d’Aunis is a truly unique grape variety which is a pleasure to drink. Packed with sweet strawberry, raspberry and white pepper aromas, this wine has pretty red fruit, with charming freshness and good tannins. Light, delicate and fine.
