Reviews And Awards

91 points : Sancerre Rosé 2018

Domaine des Clairneaux

Deep vivid orange-pink. Potent red berry, orange pith and floral scents are sharpened by hints of dusty minerals and white pepper. Chewy and broad on the palate, offering bitter red currant cherry and blood orange flavors that steadily tighten up on the back half. Finishes long and spicy, with repeating red fruit character and a touch of candied rose.
