95/100 Decanter World Wine Awards
We are delighted to introduce this delicious Sancerre rosé 2022—one of the Decanter World Wine Awards top wines, beautifully made by David Sautereau, winemaker behind Berry Bros & Rudd’s own Sancerre. It is excellent. Notes Decanter, ‘This Sancerre rosé produced with 100% Pinot Noir is sure to please the most discerning. Top-scoring with mouth-watering tasting notes, if looking to try something new within familiar territory, this wine will excite all on its own.’
David Sautereau is the ninth generation making exceptional wine in the village of Crézancy just to the west of Sancerre. The Domaine’s 22 hectares of vineyard are situated mainly in Crézancy, with a tiny proportion located in Bué and the village of Sancerre itself. The range of soils in this area, many of which are predominantly calcerous, allows a good spread of different blending components for the wine, giving more complex and varied flavours.
This the 2022 Sautereau Sancerre Rosé is superb, with a pale pink colour, stunning floral aromas underpinned by a core of sumptuous red fruit, with a soft pillow of velvety tannins, a strawberry acidity and a deliciously long finish.
Case of 12 bottles. RRP £300. CCUK £223. Free UK mainland delivery.
