Sancerre Rosé: Maulin Bèle 2011

This Sancerre Rosé from Domaine André Vatan, called ‘Maulin Bèle’, is also as bien classique as their 'Les Perriers' Sancerre Blanc. Made from pure Pinot Noir, it has a lovely pale coral colour, delicate redcurrant scents and the domaine’s signature elegant, dry finish.

Joe Wadsack - 9th June 2012 says:

Considering the vintage, this is rich complex, deft and gorgeous. Savoury and brightly fruity at the same time.
