Francois Crochet Sancerre Rose 2023 750ml

Certified organic, practicing biodynamic. 100% Pinot Noir. Average vine age of twenty years, planted on clay and chalky soils. Fruit is hand-harvested, then whole-cluster pressed. Fermentation and aging in stainless steel for six months. A great example of finely hewn Sancerre rosé—not the cheap pink stuff of which oceans are made—this wine drinks beautifully now, but this paler version of Sancerre Rouge will age very well for a few years, too. (Many wines with this kind of character and cut are even better with a year or two in bottle.) Brief maceration on the skins for this wine results in notes of kiwi, fresh baby rose, wild strawberry, and clean green herbs. One of our best rosés in the offer if you prefer them complex and layered.
