Louis de Grenelle - Saumur Brut Rosé NV (750ml) Trebbiano GialloA deep pink appearance flecked with fine bubbles. The bouquet is a festival of small red fruit (raspberry, wild strawberry) and flowers (iris, violet). On the palate, the wine presents notes of sour candies and red fruit. 100% Cabernet Franc. A wine for celebration par excellence, this is perfect as an aperitif or to accompany desserts (fruit tart, chocolate gateau).
