Most people know Sancerre for Sauvignon Blanc, but a handful of top growers also craft wonderfully crisp, dry rosés from Pinot Noir. The 2025 B. Millet Sancerre Rosé is a perfect example, and it comes from one of our favorite Sancerre producers.
The "B." in B. Millet is Betty Millet, wife of Franck Millet, and together they craft one of our top-selling Sancerre Blancs. From their vineyards in Bué, one of Sancerre's top villages, they also produce this wonderfully refreshing rosé. Bright, brisk, and exhibiting aromas and flavors of tart strawberry, fresh citrus, rose petal, green herbs, and chalky minerality, this is the sort of wine that makes you want another sip before you've finished the first.
Even better is the price -- buy a solid six-pack of this, and it's just $19.99/bottle, over 25% off the normal price of $26.99.
Anything less, and it's still just $23.99/bottle, over 10% off the regular price of $26.99.
This sort of pricing makes me feel like we've jumped into a time machine and gone back 20 years to when Sancerre of any color was much more affordable! After many years of buying, selling, and drinking wines from this region, I can tell you that finding authentic, estate-bottled Sancerre at this price is getting harder every year.
Sancerre isn't getting cheaper, but here's a chance to buy real-deal grower Sancerre at a price that feels like the old days. That value becomes even more impressive when you consider how the Millets farm. Betty and Franck farm their limestone and clay vineyards without industrial chemicals or shortcuts. Instead, they rely on meticulous handwork throughout the growing season, and this sort of "hands-in-the-dirt" farming is how all of the finest wines in the world are made.
Put simply, it's delicious, totally refreshing, and one heck of a value. It pairs beautifully with everything from goat cheese and charcuterie to grilled salmon, shrimp, roast chicken, or a simple summer salad. It's equally enjoyable on the porch before dinner with good friends.
If you've enjoyed the Millet family's Sancerre Blanc over the years, don't miss this one. It shares that same unmistakable Sancerre character, just in a pink package.
