This is a beautiful Rosé that's a fusion between native Loire Valley grapes, from a winemaker who specialises in just that. Normally I'd say to avoid Rosés that are a blend of a red and a white grape - this however stands as an exception to that rule. It's vibrant, nuanced, and utterly enjoyable.
You'll love this if: You're looking for a fun Rosé that is genuinely complex.
Maybe skip this if: You're looking for something sweet.
When to open it: Drink now.
