ORGANIC! Natural, fresh and lively, with waves of pomegranate juice mixed with tangerine and blood peaches. A rosé from the unique Pineau d’Aunis grape, which can trace its history in the Loire back to the Middle Ages.
Summer is a go -- 2011 rosés are here!
5.30.2012
 The 2011 vintage is the best kind of rosé year. To a one our selections are fine, dry wines that belong at the table, with foods that complement each wine’s lively freshness and spicy, thirst-quenching finish.
Great rosé should be full-flavored, chock-full of red summer fruit with good cut and balance, not to mention refreshingly low alcohol...and that’s what you’ll find here.
Our selections from the Loire Valley in 2011 are especially not to be missed—each bottle offers a broad sweep of juicy, ripe fruit yet is deliciously bone dry. Let us put together a mixed case for you to start the summer season!

Domaine Sauvete Touraine Les Gravouilles (Gamay) 2009
France
/
Loire Valley
The warm summer scent of boysenberries and blackberries mixes with a dash of pepper on the aromatic, luscious nose. This is Gamay with a more Burgundian profile, and even then it delivers a depth of flavor and creamy, rich texture that we’ve seriously seldom seen from the Loire—2009 is an extraordinary year and one that should not be missed.
