Hubert Brochard Sancerre Rose

The vines average thirty years of age. The yield per hectare is between 50 and 60 hectoliters. Harvesting is carried out both manually and mechanically and takes place in early October. This combination results in a top-quality rosé that is at its best two or three years after the vintage. Given a little more time to develop, this rosé becomes fuller and more delicious.

The vineyards of Hubert Brochard

Domaine Hubert Brochard produces classically styled Sancerre blanc, rosé, and rouge from their family estate in Chavignol. Aimée Brochard inherited her father's vineyards in the early 20th century, cultivating grapes and raising goats to produce cheese with the help of her husband, Hubert. The estate is now run by the fifth and sixth generations of Brochards, with 152 hectares of vineyards in Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, and Vin de Pays du Val de Loire. Today, brothers Daniel, Jean-François, and Benoît Brochard run the estate with the help of Daniel's daughters, Caroline and Anne-Sophie, producing wines that express the terroir of their region. Sancerre Rosé comes from seven different villages where deeper soils are more suitable for Pinot Noir. The grapes are harvested by hand and then destemmed before being sent to the pneumatic press, where slow pressing produces an attractive pink color within a few hours. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks.

What does the Hubert Brochard Sancerre Rosé taste like?

Sancerre Rosé showcases the elegance and freshness of Pinot Noir thanks to the varietal's soft tannins and thirst-quenching acidity. The wine develops an attractive pale pink color as it macerates briefly on the skins during pressing. Aromas and flavors of red berries, wildflowers, herbs, and minerals emerge on the nose and palate.
