A rosé from across the middle Loire
Rosé de Loire is a regional appellation spanning the Anjou, Saumur and Touraine areas, across five départements. Made from a wide range of grape varieties — cabernets, grolleau, gamay, côt, pineau d'Aunis — it stands apart from other Loire rosés through its drier character.
The style of the wines
Lively and fruity, Rosé de Loire favours freshness and balance over sweetness. It is a wine for the table as much as for the aperitif, supple and thirst-quenching, best drunk young and served well chilled — a dry, generous expression of the diversity of the Loire Valley's grape varieties.
