2018 Franck Millet Sancerre Rosé

The Franck Millet Sancerre Rosé is the smallest production wine that is made at this great domaine. This wine is made by selecting the freshest, highest acid Pinot Noir from the harvest, and then done with direct skin contact for one or two days. In lighter vintages, they will also add some of the red wine, but in 2018, that was not necessary. This wine is loaded with beautiful strawberry aromas but also a surprising amount of similar notes to white Sancerre, with a peachy as well as fresh herb quality. This dry rosé has persistence and minerality that one rarely finds in even very good Provençal wines, and is a must try for the summer.
