WINE DESCRIPTION
Louis de Grenelle's Saumur Brut Rosé is an enchanting sparkling wine from the heart of France's Loire Valley, crafted in the traditional method. This family-owned maison is the last independent and family-owned sparkling wine house in Saumur, with deep-rooted expertise in creating fine bubbles. Their Brut Rosé is predominantly made from the Cabernet Franc grape, which thrives in the region's tuffeau limestone soils, imparting a unique mineral quality. Aged in ancient troglodytic cellars, the wine achieves a remarkable finesse and depth, capturing the essence of Saumur's elegant sparkling tradition.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
In the glass, this Saumur Brut Rosé by Louis de Grenelle shows off a soft pink color with a vibrant stream of fine bubbles.The bouquet is a playful medley of red berries, notably strawberries and raspberries, with a floral hint of rose petals. Upon tasting, the vivacious effervescence carries flavors of crisp red fruits, a zesty citrus edge, and a subtle yeasty complexity. The palate is balanced, with a creamy mousse that softens the brisk acidity, leading to a refreshing and persistent finish that echoes with notes of berry and a chalky mineral texture. Delightfully approachable, this rosé sparkler is a festive pour for any occasion.
