Grape: Pinot Noir
A Pinot Noir rosé of great freshness, which deliciously captures the subtleties of its terroir and grape variety… Its flowery finish makes it the perfect rosé from spring to late summer.
Winemaking
Sancerre rosé is a bled rosé. 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.
The Pinot Noir is relatively fragile and demanding grape variety and needs a well drained ground and a temperate climate. That’s why it flourishes on the chalky-clay slopes around Sancerre. Nevertheless it demands a constant attention from us to give the best, joyful and delicate rosé.
