"Sancerre Rouge—elegant Pinot Noir from Loire's limestone slopes—accounts for less than 20% of production, making this "forgotten kingdom" a hunter's discovery."

Sancerre Rouge: The Forgotten Red Kingdom
Before phylloxera devastated Europe, Sancerre was 90% red wine - almost entirely Pinot Noir. Today, Sauvignon Blanc dominates, but ~420 hectares of Pinot remain. These light, floral reds are wildly underpriced compared to Burgundy - a complex Sancerre Rouge costs the same as average, unmemorable village Burgundy.
