Crisp with lime and green apple over a touch of mineral and slate. — a month ago
2013 vintage. Prettier than the 2006 previously on the menu. That had decidedly bready notes and this drops that, introducing flowers and citrus/stone fruits instead. Drinking great now but another 2-5 years could vault this up the ratings scale. 9.10.25. — 3 months ago
Pascal et Nicolas Reverdy – Sancerre Rosé “Terre de Maimbray” 2016
Loire Valley, France 🇫🇷
Overview
From the limestone-rich slopes of Maimbray, Reverdy crafts this 100% Pinot Noir rosé, showing how Sancerre can shine not only in whites but also in elegant, age-worthy rosés. Though Sancerre is world-famous for Sauvignon Blanc, about 20% of its vineyards are planted to Pinot Noir, which can be vinified as red or rosé. This bottle demonstrates just how gracefully a Loire rosé can evolve with time.
Aromas & Flavors
Wild strawberry, raspberry, and redcurrant with rose petals and dried herbs. With age, subtle tones of candied orange peel and a light spice develop, adding dimension without overpowering.
Mouthfeel
Silky and rounded, with acidity still intact to keep it lively. Medium-bodied with a savory edge, balancing freshness and maturity.
Food Pairing
Perfect alongside charcuterie, grilled salmon, or roast chicken. The evolved texture also makes it a great partner for mushroom risotto or lentil dishes.
Verdict
A rare aged rosé that proves Pinot Noir from Sancerre can deliver both finesse and staying power. Still vibrant after 9 years, this wine highlights Reverdy’s skill and the region’s versatility beyond Sauvignon Blanc. — 3 months ago

50-50 chard and pinot. Quirky. Stone fruit and almost nose and almond and floral vanilla nose. The palate hits tingly, lifts with more fruit and flowers mid-palate then slopes downwards, finishes somehow savory and honeyed. — 9 days ago
