Vibrant and fruity rosés with a pale salmon colour, a tender palate and fresh acidity, on aromas of strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, candy and spring flowers. Light and thirst-quenching finish. Star of Rosé d'Anjou AOC (a pleasing off-dry rosé) and backbone of Loire and Touraine rosés. Occasionally vinified as light reds and sparkling rosés. Native Loire grape from Anjou and Touraine, once the most widely planted variety in Anjou before Cabernet Franc.
Emblematic upper Loire vineyard (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Quincy, Reuilly, Menetou-Salon, Coteaux du Giennois, Châteaumeillant, Pouilly-sur-Loire). Sauvignon Blanc: the signature white, taut and expressive with vivid citrus, grapefruit, boxwood, white flowers and a smoky-mineral edge (Pouilly flint), brilliant acidity. Pinot Noir: the signature red, elegant and silky with cherry, sour cherry and floral hints, and in lively rosés. A world reference for Sauvignon Blanc.
