Touraine Rosé

From our friend Luc Poullain in the chalky soils of the Touraine, this rosé is equal parts Pinot d’Aunis, Pinot Noir, Gamay, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Deep, concentrated and grippy – and extremely elegant. Equal parts Cabernet Franc, Côt (Malbec), Gamay, Grolleau, Pineau d’Aunis.

Reviews and Scores

90 Points – “Best Buy” – (2023 vintage review) – Wine Enthusiast, November Issue 2024

Fresh and vibrant, this is a solid rosé. White strawberry blossom and red cherry hug on the nose and picnic on a blanket of red raspberry. Tangerine citrus and white peach infuse the palate supported by tangy acidity. Best Buy. 90 Points — R.S.
