Domaine Roland Tissier Les Genêts Rosé
Domaine Roland Tissier’s Les Genêts Rosé embodies the finesse and freshness of the Loire Valley’s iconic Sancerre appellation. Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown on the limestone-rich slopes surrounding the village of Sancerre, this wine captures the purity and energy that define the region’s finest rosés. Hand-harvested fruit is gently pressed to preserve its delicate color and fragrance before undergoing a cool fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. The result is a rosé of crystalline clarity and balance — aromatic, precise, and refreshing from start to finish.
