Light Red is the New Pink (May 2025) The 2024 Rosé de Loire is a deeply characterful wine, absolutely bursting at the seams with Cabernet Franc signatures. Lavender, strawberry, lemongrass, tobacco and white pepper run through, but what’s most impressive here is the textural seamlessness and inner harmony. This is a classy, extremely well-made wine that speaks in a distinctive dialect. - By Billy Norris on May 2025
Notes from Distributor:
A blend of Cabernet Franc and Grolleau grown on 25+ year old vines. A noble, supremely saline rosé with an exquisitely delicate texture. Made like a white wine to preserve minerality and structure. The wine is full of bright flavors of wild raspberries, blood orange zest, and red currant, all in a refreshingly silky package. Practicing biodynamic
