Thomas-Labaille, Sancerre Rose l'Authentique, 2025
Sancerre rosé done the old-school Chavignol way. Thomas-Labaille is a multi-generational family in the village famous for Les Monts Damnés (Claude Thomas founded the domaine in the early 1950s; Florence Thomas and Jean-Paul Labaille have led it since 1994), and L'Authentique is their direct-press Pinot Noir from estate vines averaging twenty-five years on Kimmeridgian limestone. Native-yeast fermentation in fiberglass and cement, four to six months on the lees in stainless, no malolactic, no filtration before bottling. The result is rosé as Sancerre apéritif: pale-pink, cut with the same chalky tension that runs through their whites. Made in tiny quantities, this is a serious bottle dressed as something casual—the rosé to pull out when you want Loire Pinot Noir without the weight of red wine. 2025 arrives fresh, taut, and finishes long on stone.
