Loire Valley
Loire Valley
The castles that dot the Loire are built from tuffeau, a local chalky limestone. The Bouvet cellars are in ancient tuffeau quarries, perfect for aging wine. Bouvet sources grapes from over 100 plots in the Loire Valley through long-standing relationships. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel with the second fermentation in bottle. The salmon pink color results from a quick maceration on the skins of the red Cabernet Franc grapes. The wine is aged on the lees for 9 to 24 months.
Tasting Note
Salmon pink in color with fine, pinpoint bubbles, this elegant sparkling rosé offers notes of strawberry, raspberry, and pastry.

About the Grape
Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc usually shows tart red cherry and wild currant aromas and flavors with an herbal, spicy character. In the Loire, esp. Chinon and Saumur-Champigny, this grape shows firm minerality.
