  December 13, 2021 - We don't see a lot of Sancerre rosé in Ontario, but this one from Jean-Max Roger, one of the region's finest names, shows just how good it can be. It's so elegant and refined, the usual rosé sweetness held on check -- this is more dry and savoury, with a fine sweet-sour balance. The nose is superb, offering complex notes of cherry, red berries and currants, orange citrus, dried flowers (with a hint of rose), minerals, white pepper, and candlewax, leading to that sweet-sour palate along with black tea complementing the ongoing array of fruity-floral-minerally elements, and then bitter citrus pith on the finish. There's too much of the sour (firm acidity) and bitter/tannic (like oversteeped tea) character at this point, but it's still only a 2020. I'd say 2-3 mote years would really pull everything together, and even just an hour or two of aeration points to the full potential here. I'll give it a 91, but there's upside even from there. A superb value at $27 (in Ontario), this is about as good a rosé as I've ever tasted.

  August 8, 2021 - This 100% Pinot Noir rosé has a fresh, elegant, and intense nose with attractive aromas of grapefruit, citrus, red currant, strawberry, red cherry, and mineral. It's medium+ bodied with good weight to the fruit with lovely grapefruit, citrus and red berry flavours coming through on the dry palate. Acids are well-balanced, while white pepper spice notes join the grapefruit, citrus, and red berry profile on the mid-palate, lingering through to the long, leesy mineral finish. Score: 90+ pts
