Gerard & Pierre Morin, Sancerre, Rose

This has developed some nuance, with terrior infused flinty minerals showing in the mix. Clear, medium pink color. Cranberry, strawberry and raspberry fruits with red florals. Still fresh acidity provides balance. Balanced, refreshing and a long finish. Drink now.

I have nothing to add to my note from 8/14/2023 as it is still spot on despite this now being a three year old Rose. The acidity is as strong as ever, and the wine is beautifully integrated. Perhaps the intensity of the strawberry note has faded just a tad, but this is still truly wonderful.

I always love these Sancerre Pinot Noir based roses: a great mix of juicy red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, watermelon); fresh acidity; terroir infused minerality; and very food friendly. Well balanced and finishes long. Enjoyed with assorted hard cheeses and almond crackers.

Light, dry, mineral, and easy-drinking. 13% ABV.

What a lovely, beautifully perfect Sancerre Rosé! Really pretty, slightly floral aromas, but mostly it's strawberry juice/water and some pretty minerals. Elegant and very expressive. Lovely vibrant red fruits immediately on palate entry, but then very quickly you get some really beautiful salinity and minerals. What incredible flavors in the mouth... the balance between these items offer a juxtaposition but yet are some how beautifully fully integrated. The finish has this massive dial up of acidity on the finish, but …

Initial taste is very pleasant, but then there is a rather acidic aftertaste that spoils anything that went before. With so many great French Rosé wines around, this is not a repeat purchase.
