2007 Francois Cotat Sancerre Chavignol Rose

I had dinner at a firends home and he opened this 2007 F. Cotat Sancerre Chavignol Rose as an apertif with grilled salmon tarts and tuna tartare. It's the first Sancerre Rose that I've tasted and it was a strange wine. It's a Rose of Pinot Noir and while it started off with overt strawberry notes on the nose, it became more pink grapefruit as it opened up. The wine was quite dry and had my host not explained that the wine was pinot noir I would have guessed Sauvignon Blanc colored with a bit of Pinot Noir. It seemed just a bit tired lacking any punch and was pleasnt enough but no wow factor. "B" on the Dale Scale.
