Dom du Pre Semele Sancerre ROSE 2020

Winemaking

Julien and Clément identify in advance the plots of Pinot Noir that will be chosen to make their rosé. The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness by machine to facilitate loading straight into the press. This is a 100% rosé de presse as the brothers believe that gentle pressing over 3.5 hours is the only way to extract the delicate aroma and flavour components from just under the skins of the grapes. The juice is then fermented in stainless steel and aged on the fine lees for 6 to 10 months.

Tasting Note

2021 - Wild strawberries, some stone fruit and lemon on the nose. Wild and intense pink grapefruit on the palate with redcurrants and red cherries to follow. Bright and zesty with a pinot noir backbone.
