It&#8217;s a Pinot Noir from the southern Loire region of the Auvergne, which is a story in itself (I hope to visit next year), and it has been unearthed by the talented Richard Kelley MW of ABS Wine Agencies. It comes from volcanic soils, at an altitude of 350-570 m, and the region sits on the 45th parallel, like the Rhone.<\/p>\n<p>The wine is made by the Cave St Verny, who also make a very good Gamay, which is very tasty but not quite in the same league as this Pinot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cave St Verny Puy de D\u00f4me Pinot Noir 2010 IGP Auvergne, France<\/strong><br \/>\n13.5% alcohol. Fresh and aromatic with sappy green notes, hints of herbs and ripe cherry fruit on the nose. The palate is elegant and textured with smooth, sappy red cherry fruit. Beautifully expressive and elegant. A pure, lighter-style red wine with no harsh edges. So drinkable. 92\/100 (\u00a39.95 The Sampler)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cave St Verny Gamay 2011 AOC C\u00f4tes d\u2019Auvergne, France<\/strong><br \/>\n14% alcohol. Very juicy and bright with raspberries and cherries. Supple and sweetly fruited with nice texture. Essence of Gamay, uncomplicated and enjoyable. 88\/100<\/p>\n<p>UK agent ABS Wine Agencies<\/p>\n<p>Find these wines with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is, dear readers, the best sub-\u00a310 wine I have consumed this year.
