Domaine Gouron, Chinon Rosé "La Croix de Bois", Loire Valley, France 2022
{sustainable} 100% Cabernet Franc
CHERRY & CHOCOLATE, FLORAL & HERBACEOUS, PINK PEPPERCORN
Gouron’s tiny production of beautiful, dry Cabernet Franc rosé provides us with a tantalizing yearly treat. Perfumy aromas of autumnal, leafy spice and bits of chocolate make us salivate from the very first whiff and hint at the wine’s finesse and silky texture. A joy from the moment the cork is popped, this razory and elegant pink has all the flavorful hallmarks of Cab Franc, and the bright acidity lingers for minutes.
Serving Suggestion: Roast turkey w/ sage, thyme, & lemony butter. Niçoise salad w/ poached salmon. Bulgur, cucumber, mint, & parsley salad.
