2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

Since 2017, the Gazeau family has been offering tours of their vineyard by horse-drawn carriage. This wholesome activity is complemented by a delightful tasting of this admirable rosé, half Cabernet Franc and half Cabernet Sauvignon. The color is crystal clear and bright, the nose elegant and intense, opening up to blueberry and red fruit aromas. The palate? Fruity as hell, round, smooth without being heavy, thanks to the perfectly balanced addition of a subtle freshness." (Le Guide Hachette des Rosés 2017-2018).

About the estate:

After gaining experience in South Africa, Jean-Marie Gazeau joined his father Michel in 2005 on the family estate (53 hectares). Their wines are regularly selected in the Guide, in various Anjou appellations and in all three colors. A sure bet.

Note and opinion by Mr. MARC R. Published on 08/21/2017

A very pleasant rosé for summer—appealing to everyone and very easy to drink... perhaps too easy....
