The Rose of the Loire

Light salmon colour. Fresh strawberries, raspberries, medium acidity and lots of red berries note on the palate.

Rose Chinon, 2016. 12.5%. 100% Cabernet Franc.

Very refreshing on the nose, lighter strawberry aroma. Really clean on the palate. Short finish but nice and simple. A lovely summer salad wine on the terrace.

Light salmon. Ripe strawberry nose. Very elegant and delicate on the palate with refreshing lingering fresh red berries finish.

Touraine 2016 12.5%. Part of Terra Vitis.

Dark pink. Ripe raspberries with hint of leafy note. Round on the palate.

Very good balance of the sweetness, acidity and fruit. Ripe juicy strawberry note lingering on the finish. VG.

IGP Val de Loire Rose, Grolleau. 12%

Dry, light, simple, fresh red berries.

Egiodola is a crossing between Fer Servadou and Arbouriou, means ‘pure blood’ in Basque.

No one really know what it is until I asked Google. On the nose, not very distinct some subtle red berries. On the palate, it has medium bodied and some darker berry notes.

Val de Loire, IGP. 11.5%

Very weird choice of green bottle. But the wine is quite refreshing and delicious with lots of red berries fruit intensity.
