Alphonse Mellot, Sancerre ROSE, "La Moussiere"
La Moussière rosé, a cuvee elaborated from Pinot Noir vines grown specifically for the purpose in the La Moussière vineyard in the heart of Sancerre. This press rosé is vinified in the same way as a white wine and has a nose that is a subtle mix of white pepper and red berries, a fine salmon-pink robe and a delicately spiced, mellow and full-bodied palate with a fresh, straight finish.
A wine for carefree sunny days, La Moussière rosé goes perfectly with tapas as an aperitif, grills and roast veal, and makes a very pleasant drink in its present state of maturity.
