Crafted with Loire Valley Expertise
Barton & Guestier, France’s oldest wine house, crafts this rosé in the Anjou region of the Loire Valley, known for its sweeter rosés. The winemaking process involves a short maceration period to extract delicate color and aromas, followed by low-temperature fermentation and cooling to preserve residual sugar, creating its signature off-dry style. Grown on limestone and schist soils under an oceanic climate, the Grolleau and Cabernet Franc grapes develop vibrant fruitiness and subtle spice. This meticulous process has earned the wine multiple accolades, including a Silver Medal at the 2018 USA Drink Pink Vino Wine Competition and “Best of Show” in 2019, scoring 18/20 among 144 entries. Its global popularity, reflected in high Wine-Searcher user searches, underscores its quality.
