2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"Since 2017, the Gazeaus have been offering tours of their vineyard by horse-drawn carriage. This refreshing activity is followed by a most enjoyable tasting of this admirable rosé, a blend of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The color is crystal-clear and brilliant; the nose is elegant and intense, opening with notes of blueberry and red berries. On the palate? Incredibly fruity, round, and smooth without heaviness, thanks to the perfectly balanced touch of a delicate freshness.” (Le Guide Hachette des Rosés 2017-2018).

About the wine:

Since 2017, the Gazeaus have been offering tours of their vineyard by horse-drawn carriage. This refreshing activity is followed by a most enjoyable tasting of this wonderful rosé, a blend of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The color is crystal-clear and brilliant; the nose is elegant and intense, opening with notes of blueberry and red berries. On the palate? Incredibly fruity, round, and smooth without being heavy, thanks to the perfectly balanced touch of subtle freshness.

About the estate:

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