The wine region of Cabernet de Saumur
AOC rosé (1964, 80–110 ha in Saumurois, ~700,000 bottles) blended from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon by direct pressing without destemming — vinification close to Cabernet d'Anjou. Luminous pink robe with salmon tints, nose of fresh and delicate red fruits (strawberry, raspberry). Balanced and discreet palate, suave and round with moderate residual sugar. Primarily chalky white tuffeau soils characteristic of Saumurois; drink young for fruity brightness.
The wine region of Loire Valley
Kingdom of lively, dry whites and fine sparklers. Mineral, taut Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé) with citrus and gunflint notes. Multiform Chenin Blanc (Vouvray, Savennières, Layon): straight dry, floral off-dry or noble sweet honey-quince. Saline, iodised Muscadet (Melon B.
The word of the wine: Black Grenache
Grenache is a black grape variety that originated in Spain and is one of the great quality varieties of southern France. Sometimes vinified on its own, it is most often blended with one or more other Rhone or southern grape varieties with complementary qualities such as Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan or Cinsault. Its wines are warm, with aromas of red fruits (cherry) and spices; they oxidize with time. Vinified alone or in very large proportions, Grenache Noir also makes great natural sweet wines in Roussillon (Rivesaltes, Banyuls, Maury) and in the Rhône Valley (Rasteau).
