WINE DESCRIPTION
Discover the regal allure of Le Roi des Pierres, a Sancerre Rosé rooted in the illustrious Chavignol family vineyards, adjacent to the revered Monts Damnés. This elegant creation is nurtured amidst the diverse soils of Sancerre—terres blanches, rich in clay and limestone with shellfish fossils, caillottes, pebbly limestone, and silex, flint soils over a clay and limestone base. Crafted from 25 to 40-year-old Pinot Noir vines in a simple Guyot system, the wine's essence is intertwined with chalky, clay soils, a harmonious blend of terres blanches and caillottes terroir. A mere 20% of Sancerre is dedicated to Pinot Noir, a quarter of which shapes this enchanting rosé.
