Bouvet Ladubay Excellence Brut Rose

A cork just popped from Bouvet Ladubay’s Excellence Brut Rosé signaling that the weekend is just around the corner. This 100% Cabernet Franc from France’s Loire Valley is reminiscent of bike rides through gardens to a chateau. Around the corner, a table waits for you with assorted fruit and soft cheese. This wine is a daydream, momentarily taking you away from your world of laundry, grocery store runs, and a broken printer.

ORIGIN

Loire, France

Grapes

100% Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes

Bright salmon pink in color with fine bubbles and a pleasant mousse. The fresh raspberry, red currant and peach on the nose is given structure on the palate with black currant and quince, earthy notes and fine herbal piquancy.

Grilled fish, chicken, pork or, for dessert, fresh berries.
