2019 Domaine Lucien Crochet Sancerre Pinot Rose

Made exclusively of Pinot Noir harvested from several parcels, a mix of Oxfordian “caillottes” and Kimmeridgian “marne”. This Rosé is made using the direct press method with the whole berries entering the pressoir. The musts ferment in temperature-controlled cuves (85%) as well as a small percentage in older barrels (15%). The fermentation occurs over three weeks. The wines is bottled in the spring of the following year. An intense pink with almost purple carmine red tints. The nose is marked by Pinot Noir, aromas of red fruit cake. The tannins provide power with impressions of fresh red fruit and a nice balance. This is the perfect summer wine, to be sipped outdoors and enjoyed with salads, cold cuts and barbecues.
