Vintage: 2008
Grapes: Gamay 50%, Pineau d'Aunis 50%

Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Tuna tartare
  • Smoked salmon, cucumber, and goat cheese sandwiches
  • Prosciutto, canteloupe, and burrata salad

People don't typically look to the Loire for great rosé, but this blend of Gamay and Pineau d'Aunis is definitely worth seeking out. With a delicate pale salmon hue, vibrant aromas of melon and lemon zest, and crisp wild strawberry and crushed raspberry fruit, this is pretty hard to beat - especially for the price.
