Domaine Michel Girard Sancerre Rose 2011

Domaine Michel Girard Sancerre Rose 2011

  • A sensational Rosé from an award winning Wine Producer.
  • The true taste of 'real' Rosé.
  • "Delicious, wild strawberry-scented which you could easily drink with fish" Fiona Beckett, The Guardian 2011

In my opinion there are only two really great Sancerre Rosés - and this is one of them. In fact, when I got the opportunity, I just had to buy this. Delicate and powerful at the same time, this is what real Rosé is all about. Deliciously creamy red fruits backed by a refreshing mineral undertone, this is definitely one to enjoy in the sunshine - preferably with someone really special.

Michel Girard

Winemaker: Michel Girard

Country: France

The estate of Domaine Michel Girard comprises of 12 hectares which is made up of 30 parcels of vineyards. Terroir plays an important role in our estate where three different soil structures of Sancerre exist: Terres Blanches (limestone), Caillottes (chalky limestone), Silex (flint). The result is several cuves vinified separately each reflecting the different soils which we bring together to give wines which have body, fruit and length.
