Sancerre is renowned for its world-class whites but it also crafts a tiny amount of rose that is every bit as impressive but much rarer - it accounts for only 1 in every 25 bottles made in sancerre! get your hands on the best of these bottles and you have to our mind the perfect aperitif - so elegant, seductive and refreshing. Armand salmon's sublime 2006 is such a wine. He makes it using 100% pinot noir, which thrives in sancerre's cooler climate and chalky soils (similar to burgundy, in fact). The fruit is handharvested and gently pressed, producing a lovely pink hue and deliciously pure strawberry and raspberry flavours. And 2006 was a fine vintage too ... "Loire lovers can expect harmony, fruit and finesse from 2006" say decanter, immediately evident when you get a glass in front of you. Stock up while you can! "gorgeous salmon pink with lots of ripe strawberry and raspberry flavours. Very elegant and pure ... Mouthwatering stuff!" |
