Tasting notes

This refreshing, very fruity rose will seduce you with its bouquet of ripe red fruits. It's easy to drink, fresh and particularly well-balanced in structure and aromas. Enjoy Sancerre rosé well-chilled but not too cold – about 10°C should be enough to conquer your guests!

Viticulture & Terroir

Vines grown on a terroir clays (65%) and limestone (35%), on the hills between Chavignol and Sancerre. The limestone gives the wine its backbone to the wine, while the clay gives it flesh. Yields are deliberately low, with high-density cultivation and interrow grassing.

Winemaking

Sancerre rose is a bled rose. Juice is obtained by draining (“bleeding”) vats of Pinot Noir juice after 48 hours of cold maceration. The alcoholic fermentation is conducted in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks (16-18°C) followed by 4 to 5 months of maturation on its fine lees in order to have longer fermentations and more intense aromas.
