Domaine Dyckerhoff Rosé Petit Gris Reuilly AOC 2021

The Dyckerhoff family immigrated to France from Germany in the early 1960s, and Christian and Benedictine Dyckerhoff have been making wine since 2004 with fantastic results. The domaine is located in the small town of Reuilly in the central Loire Valley, roughly an hour's drive east from Sancerre. In a region dominated by grain farming, its limestone and clay soils are surprisingly amenable to winegrowing. Though sauvignon blanc and pinot noir are permitted generally in the Reuilly AOC, pinot gris is only allowed for rosé. This dry, elegant, pale-pink quaff is easy drinking and mineral driven with a thirst-quenching brightness.
