VINEYARD

The grapes are grown on the famous hilly slopes of the following Sancerre Terroirs: Caillottes ‘limestones and clay’, Terres Blanches ‘Kimmeridgian Marls’.

WINEMAKING

The grapes are quickly transported to the winery in small size trailors. The pink color is extracted via a short maceration (6-12hrs). The grapes are then gently pressed into a pneumatic press. The juices are fermented in stainless steel tanks during 15 to 20 days at a temperature ranging from 14 to 18°C.

FOOD PAIRING

Grilled vegetables on the barbecue, Niçoise salad with goat cheese and beetroot, seafood skewers.

Sep. 2024	2023	James Suckling	90 pts/ A well-defined, balanced and delicious rosé. On the nose dried apricots, red currants and mild spices dominate. It’s medium-bodied with a mellow and subtle character. Fruity and comforting. Drink now.
