A rare and high quality rose from Baigneux, made to showcase the quality of terroir in Azay-le-Rideau.
Aged in old foudres for one year before bottling, this is a complex and excellent rose. Fine, fresh but with depth belying the lightness of colour. Brillant.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Friends Nicholas Grosbois and Philippe Mesnier bought the 12 hectare Hauts Baigneux in Touraine Azay-le-Rideau in 2012, managing the vines and making the wine themselves. They farmed the vines organically from the start, and were certified in 2014, and have since expanded the domaine to 17 hectares.
Touraine Azay-le-Rideau is a relatively unknown terroir, only a few kilometres east of the far more well known Chinon, within the Loire Valley. Nicholas, a local to the area, saw potential in the local terroir, with it's clay soils and limestone bedrock.
