Château de la Roulerie - Les Camélias 2020
"A real treat"
La Roulerie, famous for its sweet wines and dry Anjou wines, presents its dry rosé Les Camélias 2020. A pale-colored wine that is almost atypical for the region, composed of equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It offers a delicate nose and a fresh palate, making it a thirst-quenching juice. A pleasant rosé to enjoy as an aperitif or with summer barbecues...

Winery rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, consistent with what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Philippe Germain—brother of Thierry Germain, from the Roches Neuves estate in Saumur-Champigny—also works with Chenin, on schist terroirs! He cultivates 37 hectares organically (out of a total of 43), in a magnificent setting, with the château overlooking the Saint-Aubin valley. Finer pressing, slightly less ripeness at harvest for the whites, and less sulfur in the winemaking process were the adjustments that greatly improved the estate, which became part of the Germain family in 1996. Philippe took over the reins in 2004 with the firm intention of raising it to the highest level. From 2010 onwards, the turning point became apparent and the wines gained in depth and brilliance. This is a reliable address, driven by care and hard work. Well done!

About the estate:
Managed by Philippe and Marie Germain since 2004, Ch. de la Roulerie owes its prestige to its sweet wines produced in the commune of Saint-Aubin-de-Luigné. The same rigor is applied to the vinification of red wines. The vineyard, which is organically farmed, covers 40 hectares.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 09/06/2022
A rosé with a rustic and seductive appearance. The palate offers roundness, femininity, and bold aromatics, intermingling flavors of red fruits (cherry, watermelon, raspberry) and tangy candy. The finish is elegant, light, and crisp. Excellent value for money and, above all, pleasure. Best consumed quickly. Les Camélias was the ideal partner at 10°C for a picnic by the river, finally deserted by tourists, with a generous pissaladière nicoise and a beautiful homemade tart with fresh raspberries. A score of 3.9 for this pleasant discovery.
