The fruit comes from Delaporte's vineyards in the chalk-rich soil of Chavignol, which historically makes the best pink wines of Sancerre.
Domaine Vincent Delaporte's rosé wine is made from pinot noir grapes that grow on vines at least fifteen years old. Sixty per cent are planted in argilo-siliceous soil and the rest in limestone soil. These vines are worked according to sustainable agricultural methods, in order to show maximum respect for the ecosystem and the environment.
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.
While this rosé is excellent as an aperitif in the summer, it can also be paired with delicatessen meats and spicy dishes. Best serve cool, at approximately 10° Celsius. This wine is best drunk within two years of bottling.
