I have always been a fan of Sancerre White but I recently bought a mixed Rose case and was amazed to find 2 bottles of this wine inside . Wow ! it's pale pink in colour with a smooth but intense flavour , incredibly good with or without food and is a very good price for what I think is the best Rose wine I've ever tasted and as I've tried almost every Rose wine that's ever been made must say something. I will be ordering this wine as the Rose option at my son's wedding !

Light in colour and appeals to the eye. Sharp, smooth taste of citrus/lemon and cleansing to the palate. Excellent to drink with seafood, white meat or on its' own. My 3 daughters - now adults - have been nurtured on this wine and sancerre white
