La Roulerie, famous for its sweet wines and dry Anjou wines, presents its 2020 Les Camélias dry rosé. A pale-colored wine—almost atypical for the region—blended in equal parts from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It offers a delicate nose and a refreshing palate, making for a thirst-quenching wine. A pleasant rosé to enjoy as an aperitif or with summer grilled dishes...

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommended production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Philippe Germain—brother of Thierry Germain of the Domaine des Roches Neuves in Saumur-Champigny—also works with Chenin on schist-based terroirs! He cultivates 37 hectares organically (out of a total of 43) in a magnificent setting, with the château overlooking the Saint-Aubin valley. More delicate pressing, slightly less ripeness at harvest for the whites, and less sulfur during vinification were the adjustments that significantly advanced the estate, which joined the Germain family in 1996. Philippe took the reins in 2004 with the firm intention of elevating it to the highest level. Starting in 2010, a turning point became evident, and the wines gained depth and brilliance. It is a reliable choice, driven by care and hard work—well done.

About the estate:
Run by Philippe and Marie Germain since 2004, Ch. de la Roulerie owes its reputation to the sweet wines produced in the village of Saint-Aubin-de-Luigné. The same meticulous standards are applied to the production of red wines. The vineyard, which is organically farmed, covers 40 hectares.

Review by Mr. GILLES D. Published on September 6, 2022
A rosé with a rustic yet alluring appearance. On the palate, it offers roundness, femininity, and a bold aromatic profile where flavors of red fruits (cherry, watermelon, raspberry) mingle with tangy candy notes. The finish lingers with elegance, light and crisp. Excellent value for money and, above all, a pleasure to drink. Best enjoyed soon. Les Camélias was the perfect companion at 10° for a picnic by the river—finally deserted by tourists—paired with a generous pissaladière from Nice and a lovely homemade tart with fresh raspberries. A 3.9 rating for this delightful discovery.
