Light, delicious, and easy to drink, the Rouge Carmen cuvée is, above all, a wine designed to be enjoyed immediately for its fruitiness. A blend of Gamay, Grolleau, and Cabernet Franc, the winery aims here to highlight the fruit’s character, resulting in a round and flavorful palate. This cuvée, which has already won over several prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants, is the perfect companion for all your special moments of togetherness!

About the estate:
Roger-François Béguinot, who made his fortune in the baby food industry, and his wife fell in love with Château Soucherie in 2007. This 28-hectare estate is beautifully situated on a south-facing schist hillside between Beaulieu and Rochefort, within the Anjou, Savennières, Coteaux du Layon, and Chaume appellations.
