Loire Valley, France
Dezat’s rosé – fashioned from Pinot Noir grown on Sancerre’s incomparable silex and caillottes soils – gleams with a limpid orange-salmon robe followed by textbook Sancerre aromas of gunflint, chalk, grapefruit, tart peach, fresh tarragon, red peppercorns, and rose petals. Crisp, focused, and driven by its mineral origins, Dezat’s 2021 rosé buoys its kernel of red currant, bitter orange, and tart cherry fruit with riveting acidity and a lashing of flinty minerals. Juicy crystalline and ineffably Sancerre, Dezat’s rosé finishes clean and brisk, begging for food. This is simply brilliant Sancerre rosé and a rare treat at its most comfortable price level. Enjoy now and over the coming three years on its own, or ideally as a partner to dry-rubbed grilled chicken, rare ahi, sashimi, sautéed summer squashes, fresh chèvres, light sausages, and beef tartare.
