Production notes

Tasting notes
Sparkly redcurrant tones give pause for admiring this wine in the glass. Fruit-packed, it exhibits the best characteristics of a young Sancerre rosé, with raspberry and wild peach aromas. Full and round in the mouth, it opens up gradually, with a fresh liveliness being tempered by a hint of tannins. It finishes on fruity notes (blackcurrant, raspberry) with a long, pretty aftertaste of citrus fruits.
