The story behind Goulaine
Rose d'Anjou comes from France's Loire Valley, where rosé is made mostly from Grolleau and Cabernet Franc, sometimes with Gamay or Pineau d'Aunis. The Anjou style tends to be soft and rounded, with red berry fruit and a gentle, off dry edge rather than the bone dry snap of Provence.
We stock the Goulaine Rose D'Anjou 2008 here in Commack, a single 750mL bottle. A 2008 rose is fully mature, so expect the fruit to have settled into something quieter and more savory than a fresh vintage. Small stock, so it is a bottle to ask about in person.
