Mathieu Coste - Coteaux du Giennois

Just a few miles north of Sancerre, Coteaux du Giennois is more known for its whites made with Sauvignon, than for its reds. Mathieu Coste makes red wines organically grown: Agriculture Biologique. Sulphite is present but at a much lower level than the norm allows. Fining is not required since the wines are left in vats for at least two years. They are then put in old oak barrels for a few months. The grapes used are Pinot noir and Gamay. The style of the wine produces a light and long persistent cherry taste!
