The year began dry and the vines came into leaf early, so Domaine de la Rossignole was expecting to harvest at the end of August. A cool and rainy summer changed that. Luckily, good weather returned in September, and because they had managed to keep the vines healthy, conditions were perfect for ripening the fruit. The harvest took place over a period of four weeks in order to pick each vine as it reached its aromatic best. The quality of the vintage amply reflects the winemaker’s labour of love in making sure that the grapes were healthy and ripe at harvest. They achieved a balanced Sancerre 2007, with floral notes and beautiful orange and grapefruit aromas, a rich, ripe citrus fruit palate and above all, the characteristic minerality of their wines. |
