Louis de Grenelle, Corail Saumur Brut Rosé (NV)

92 Points Wine& Spirits

"Françoise Flao and Antoine Bodet age their sparkling wines in the tunnels under the village of Saumur. A slow, gentle press imparts the light pink color of this cabernet franc rosé before fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. The wine offers red plum and spice tinged with green herbal notes. Enjoy its daisy-floral finish and its firm texture with a steak sandwich on the beach."

 

A deep pink appearance flecked with fine bubbles. The bouquet is a festival of small red fruit (raspberry, wild strawberry) and flowers (iris, violet). On the palate, the wine presents notes of sour candies and red fruit. 100% Cabernet Franc. A wine for celebration par excellence, this is perfect as an aperitif or to accompany desserts (fruit tart, chocolate gateau).

 

Since 1859, La Maison Louis de Grenelle has been energized by a passion for great wines. It remains today as one of the greatest independent houses Saumur. At the heart of its cellars carved into the limestone, it develops sparkling delicate styles of wine that are refined and complex.
