Michel Thomas' Sancerre rose is the perfect aperitif. Scores of you tell us every time you order a case. You love its subtle pink hue, its charming aromas and deep, refreshing strawberry flavours. We met Michel a decade ago, a passionate man quietly dedicated to his craft, making rose in his own image - subtly charming with depth and complexity. Countless awards and top ratings underline him as one of Sancerre's best producers - and yet, it is the pure joy you get from drinking and sharing his beautifully made Sancerre rose that has made us such big fans. It's Sancerre's famously flinty soils that give Michel's rose its steely elegance - the lovely crisp edge that invites you back for another cool glass. Michel hand-tends his Pinot Noir which enjoyed a fine 2008 vintage. This keeps the fruit in vigorous health and the juicy, freshly cut strawberry flavours pure, vibrant and silky.
