Michel Vattan 2025 Sancerre Rose

Tasting Notes

Michel Vattan’s 2025 Sancerre Rosé is crafted entirely from Pinot Noir, the sole red varietal permitted in Sancerre and the grape responsible for the region’s most refined, mineral‑driven rosés. The wine opens with a lifted, crystalline nose of wild strawberry, red currant, white cherry, and citrus zest, accented by subtle floral tones and the flinty minerality that marks Vattan’s vineyards in Maimbray. On the palate it is brisk, pure, and elegantly textured, showing delicate red‑berry fruit, hints of peach skin, and a clean, saline edge that stretches the finish. Its tension and precision make it exceptionally food‑friendly, pairing beautifully with goat cheese (especially Crottin de Chavignol), oysters, shrimp, salmon tartare, sushi, grilled vegetables, herb‑roasted chicken, and light Provençal dishes where its acidity and minerality sharpen and elevate the flavors.
