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.

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.
