Crafted in the heart of France’s renowned Loire Valley, this wine embodies the elegance and precision of Sancerre’s terroir, offering a vibrant alternative to traditional rosés.

Perfect for those seeking a sophisticated yet approachable rosé, this 2023 vintage stands out with its short maceration on the skins, which imparts a captivating nose of green citrus, sweet pink rose, passion fruit, and fresh green herbs.

Contrary to popular belief, Pinot Noir rosés from northern France—like this one—are built to age gracefully.
