Hachette

"Since 2017, the Gazeau family have been offering tours of their vineyards in horse-drawn carriages. It's a healthy activity, and one that can be extended with the tasting of this admirable half-Cabernet Franc, half-Cabernet Sauvignon rosé. The color is crystal-clear and brilliant, the nose elegant and intense, with hints of blueberry and red fruit. On the palate? Devilishly fruity, round, suave without heaviness, thanks to a perfectly measured contribution of fine freshness". (Le Guide Hachette des Rosés 2017-2018).

About the wine:

Since 2017, the Gazeau family have been offering tours of their vineyards in horse-drawn carriages. It's a healthy activity, and one that will be enhanced by the tasting of this admirable half-Cabernet Franc, half-Cabernet Sauvignon rosé. The color is crystal-clear and brilliant, the nose elegant and intense, with hints of blueberry and red fruit. On the palate? Devilishly fruity, round, suave without heaviness, thanks to a perfectly measured contribution of fine freshness.

About the domain :

Jean-Marie Gazeau, after a spell in South Africa, joined his father Michel on the family estate (53 ha) in 2005. Their wines are regularly selected in the Guide, in various Anjou appellations and in all three colors. A sure bet.
