Domaine Alain Gueneau Sancerre Rosé 2018, France

Hard to find Sancerre Rosé from one of the Loire's finest estates.

Alain Gueneau Sancerre Rose is a dry rose wine from the Loire Valley, France. It's 100% Pinot Noir with 12.5% abv. Suitable for Vegans.

While we don't stock many French wines at Novel Wines (French wine is great, we just like to venture into other realms), this Sancerre Rosé was too good to pass on. A twist of apples, redcurrants and ripe citrus on the nose lead into a creamy, generous palate brimming with character. Creamy notes of pear, yoghurt and red berries entwine with a marvellously fresh finish. A real star! Alain Gueneau and his daughter, Elisa, work together on the sloping vineyards situated in Sury-en-Vaux, Sancerre and Chavignol in Sancerre AOC. Most of the vines are planted on calcerous clay soils giving the fineal wine body and depth, while 20% are planted on stony, free draining soils that add freshness and fruit. It is certainly true that, for wine, the quality always starts in the vineyard.

You'll like this if you like... Fuller (but dry) rosé wines like Tavel, juicy Pinot Noir reds, or if you're a fan of blood orange flavours.

Pairs beautifully with: BBQ pork chops, spaghetti bolognese, duck in cherry sauce, crispy beef, game terrine, or roast salmon.

Cheese pairing: Brie de Meaux.
