ABOUT THIS WINE
Made entirely from Cabernet Franc, the Brut Ros Mthode Ancestrale reflects the vibrant, mineral-laced soils of Saumur, where limestone and tuffeau chalk shape wines of elegance and lift. Grapes are harvested early to preserve acidity and gently pressed, with fermentation beginning in tank and finishing in bottle without dosage or disgorgementtypical of the ancestral method. The result is a lightly cloudy, softly sparkling ros with no added sulfur and an authentic, unfiltered character.
Aromas of wild berries, rhubarb, and rose petals rise from the glass, underpinned by savory herbal notes and a faint chalky grip. On the palate, its light-bodied, crisp, and joyfully effervescent, with a gentle fizz that highlights its natural fruit purity and bone-dry finish. Unfined and unfiltered, this wine invites casual sipping and creative pairingsperfect alongside charcuterie, chvre, smoked salmon, or even spicy Asian dishes.
