The wine region of Rosé de Loire
Rosé de Loire is a Dry rosé wine. It falls into the category of still wine. Rosé de Loire is produced in the vineyards of the Loire region, in the west of France and more precisely in the wine regions of Anjou-Saumur and Touraine. Administratively, Rosé de Loire can be produced in the departments of Maine-et-Loire, Indre-et-Loire, Loir-et-Cher, Deux-Sèvres and Vienne.
The wine region of Loire Valley
The Loire Valley is a key wine region in western France. It follows the course of the Loire River on its Long journey through the heart of France, from the inland hills of the Auvergne to the plains of the French Atlantic coast near Nantes (Muscadet country). Important in terms of quantity and quality, the region produces large quantities (about 4 million h/l each year) of everyday wines, as well as some of France's greatest wines. Diversity is another of the region's major assets; the styles of wine produced here range from the light, tangy Muscadet to the Sweet, honeyed Bonnezeaux, the Sparkling whites of Vouvray and the juicy, Tannic reds of Chinon and Saumur.
The word of the wine: Extraction
All the methods (pumping over, punching down) that allow the colour and tannins to be extracted from the grape skin during maceration, before fermentation begins. It is also possible to macerate after fermentation, but gently, so as not to extract the tannins from the seeds, which are greener. Because of its solvent power, alcohol favours extraction.
