Château Soucherie - Cabernet d'Anjou Rosé 2013
14,5/20
Gault & Millau
14/20
RVF
This rosé is typical of Cabernet from the Loire Valley: red fruits (strawberries, raspberries…), blue flowers (iris, violet), and a hint of eucalyptus that adds a touch of freshness. A smooth, rich wine on the palate, with a rich balance of alcohol and sweetness, and a distinct, refreshing acidity… A true everyday rosé!
