Hi Bob, Thanks for this video😀. I liked that you educated us about the difference between a Sancerre and Poully-Fumé. I didn’t know there was a difference between the two. I also really enjoyed the food pairing at the end, after all this is what for me is all about: being able to find the right wine for the food I'm eating 😊💖
Hi Laura, I'm glad you liked the video. I'd like to include more content on food pairing, but I first need to test the level of interest. Cheers!
Bob, Sancerre has been a stable in the cellar for me. It has the easy pairing of Sauvignon blanc but as you state, that sense of place like how Chablis is distinct in Chardonnay. I have tried a red Sancerre. I was a bit confused when I saw it as I thought all of Sancerre was Sauvignon blanc. The red Sancerre wine however was unmemorable. I first picked up on Sancerre from a banter scene about Sauvignon blanc in "Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure". Also really liked the food pairing as well, because the food is the force multiplier to the wine and vice versa.
Hi Ron, Sancerre is a stable for me as well. As for the red, they’ve improved, but there is much room to step it up. I like your Chablis comparison.
Sancerre was my introduction to French whites, and what an introduction it was. From Muscadet to Roussanne-based Rhone blends, Chablis to Alsace, Bordeaux, and back to Loire for Chenin Blanc. So many that appeal to me.
That’s a good intro! I think you just provided me with some future video topics.
Glad to be of…accidental help!
@@gogreenmsu03 HAHAHA!
Thanks again, love the science information on how the different elements affect the wine.
I’m glad you liked the video.
Nice one Bob! Always a pleasure.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
0:36 I like that you highlight that Sancerre is not just a white wine. 👍
0:56 South southeast of Paris.
Sancerre rouge seems to be catching on in some circles. South southeast of Paris? Loire is west of Paris. Maybe I’m not understanding your comment. Thanks for the posting. Cheers.
The river stretches both west and east of Paris and the town of Sancerre is more to the east in the Loire valley.
@@12Trappor Got it. I misunderstood your comment. Thanks!
I am a fan of Sancerre. For me it is the best expression of Sauvignon Blanc.
I'm right there with you!
Blessings from nz Hawkes Bay wine country ♡
@@bver1149 Thank you, it’s a place I like very much! 🍷
@@bobpaulinskimasterofwine which blend or varietal is our hero in your view?
Cab merlot, merlot cab or syrah?
@@bver1149 Hands down, Syrah. Great blender!
Bob, your videos are great. You've pushed my interest in wine far beyond how much I'm able to consume. Random thought, I heard about counterfeit wine. I thought that might make for an interesting video. Just maybe something to keep in mind if you run out of topics (as if...). Please keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to the next one.
Hi Matthew, I appreciate your comment and support. Interesting video topic, one I hadn’t thought about. I need to mull it over. 🍷
@@bobpaulinskimasterofwine Yeah, maybe it isn't a fit for you. Just sharing some thoughts. Thanks.
@@Matt_Bykowski It could be a fit. I was thinking about when I worked in China. Counterfeit wine far and wide.
Enjoyed this video! It’s been a while since I tried a Sancerre, will be looking for a bottle for this summer drinking!
Thanks Bruce. Sancerre makes for good summer drinking!
The loire vally, whats not to like. Sancerre is a very old love of mine. just beautiful wines all around. But where you finde the real gems are in Vouvray, totaly under rated, High quality for the cheap. 😁
Vouvray is a crazy fine bargain. Indeed, what’s not to like?!
I love Sancerre in the summer; any producers you think are suitable for aging? Most examples I’ve had would seem to be best consumed young
Hi Zachary, I’m not a fan of aging Sancerre. Even the amped up versions don’t age well beyond four years or so. I’m my view, the best case is some Sancerre can maintain themselves for a few years, but I don’t see them improving with age. There could be an exception out there, but I’ve not come across it.
@@bobpaulinskimasterofwine thanks for the reply, cheers
Actually not had any of the Vacheron SB. Had their 2018 rouge a while ago. Very bright and fruity, nice body great balance, stoney, and crunchy finish. Not as much Burgundian, more Pinot Nero. Do love SB from Sancerre. Great info as always. Cheers.
Vacheron is a very good source. Thanks for the good word on the video. Cheers!
Very much like Sancerre, but definitely need to level up my knowledge. I had a 2015 Fournier Cuvee Silex ($35??) two years ago and it awakened me to Sancerre. I feel it is one of the best expressions of Sav Blanc for my tastes. Availability has been my challenge. I will scan your recommendations and see if I can find them.
Fournier is a good source. I don’t know where you’re located, but you should be able to find some of the wines on my list. Thanks for commenting.
Looks like the Mellot, Pascal Jolivet, and the Riffault are available in my area in the $32-35 range. Vacheron is closer to $50. I will seek them out. Thanks. 👍
@@briand2614 Very good, glad to hear it.
Enjoy your videos. We just released a video on this region as well. Nicely done Bob, as always.
Thanks for the good word. Much appreciated. I’ll have to checkout Food, Wine and Whiskey.
@@bobpaulinskimasterofwine Our wine channel is "Into the Glass with Chris & Rob"
@Bob Paulinski, Master of Wine But. If you'd be up for it, I'd love to have you on my Food, Wine & Whiskey podcast. I've been doing it for about 4 years.
@@foodwinewhiskey I’m open to discussing it. My schedule is packed over the next few months, maybe when it clears up a bit.
I've been reading a little about Sancerre recently, so this video is very well-timed! Haven't found much on aged Sancerre, but my local shop has a 2014 Domaine Laporte, Sancerre La Comtesse, and I thought it might be interesting. Do you have any thoughts on that producer or on how Sancerre might taste different with age? Keep up the good work!
Hi Ian, thanks for the good word. For me, Sancerre should be drank within a few years of the vintage. I’ve had a few older ones, they can sometimes maintain themselves, but I don’t see them improving with age. In general, I’ve not had any 100% Sauv Blanc from anywhere in the world that improves beyond a few years.
great wine, thanks
Daniel, thanks for posting a comment. I agree, Sancerre is excellent!
Menetou-Salon is a good (and cheaper) alternative.
It is a good value, but generally tougher to find.
@@bobpaulinskimasterofwine Menetou-Salon harder to find then Sancerre...?
Global warming really affects the Abv of Sancerre, most of the recent vintages were 13.5% +, which slightly reduces the elegance of the wine. I still love Sancerre but I usually go for Martinborough or Marlborough especially with crowds
I get why you look elsewhere, it the 2021s will be less ripe, more refined.
Thoughts on sancerre rouge? I would imagine it might be getting better over time with global warmings effect.
That’s exactly what many wine producers say there. I’ve tasted many, there are plenty of worthwhile examples. In my view, the best was from Paul Prieur.
@@bobpaulinskimasterofwine Hey, Thank for the response Bob! Yea it figures, I'm in the UK and a lot of the producers here say the same thing. Though I don't quite know if we'll be get much good pinot noir here anytime soon 😅 (though that doesn't stop them planting it). Not to say that their isn't some good (albeit usually overpriced) English pinot around (at least in my very amateur opinion).
I'll have to check Paul Prieur out when I get the chance!
@@yesiammhm Funny thing, maybe nothing gets very pricey than Pinot Noir. Paul Prieur is not a large wine producer, but they do export to a number of markets.
Respectfully, I suggest you study the proper pronunciation of the wine’s name/region, prior to recording the video. Sancerre sounds nothing like “sincere”.
Hi Eduardo, no worries, I appreciate the respectful criticism. I didn’t realize I said anything remotely like “sincere”. 😂
@@bobpaulinskimasterofwine I completely agree. How can you NOT hear that you're saying 'Sincere' instead of Sancerre??
@@hansbults The RUclips closed caption may pick it up in that manner, as can sometimes occur with proper names. I am saying Sancerre, perhaps its my midwestern accent.
please, Bob: you know it’s pronounced sahn-ser; your US audience can stand to learn a little French
Isn’t that what I said? I think that what is said. 🤔
No, you pronounced the first syllable in a way that rhymes with “stan”, which-as someone who has been three three times-hurts my ears. It is a beautiful, mellifluous French name: Sahn-sehr. You obviously are very knowledgeable about wine-more than me, undoubtedly-and correct pronunciation should be part of what you teach your audience.
@@jonathanbloom1665 Ok, I appreciate your comment. Cheers!
