Dominique Roger Domaine du Carrou Sancerre Rosé is a masterful expression of Pinot Noir crafted in the picturesque village of Bué in Sancerre. Grown on a unique, high-altitude parcel—the highest vineyard in the commune at 350 meters—this rosé benefits from a striking east-northeast orientation and diverse geological layers, including Portlandian limestone and clay-limestone soils. These features, coupled with 30-year-old vines and precise yield management, result in a wine that radiates freshness and finesse. Vinified with care, including direct pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation, it spends five months in stainless steel tanks before bottling. Limited to just 8,000 bottles annually, this elegant Sancerre Rosé captures the spirit of its exceptional terroir and the meticulous craftsmanship of Dominique Roger.
