BOURGEOIS 2007 SANCERRE ROSE GRAND RESER

Among the many cases of white wine from this Loire producer we have pushed through here over the last couple of years have been a few cases of a really well balanced and compelling Pinot Noir based pink wine. The fruit is perhaps a bit more to the melon side of the flavor wheel, with lovely aromatics of peach, strawberry and floral notes adding interest. As roses go, this one is a bit more restrained and compact, with a more distinctly minerally and slightly more tart nore to the finish. Very refreshing and demure stuff, we frankly bought this at the end of the run even though we had probably twenty other very good roses because, quite frankly, it was too good to leave off of the ‘team’.
