Rose de Loire Cuvee L'Astree

This dry, mineral-driven Rosé is produced from Grolleau (70%) and Gamay (30%). The vines are planted to clay, sandstone and schist soils. The wine is a product of the direct press method of vinification and the élevage is in cuve with bottling occurring usually in April of the spring following harvest. We purchase approximately 7,800 bottles for the US market.
