Flavour Profile
We’ve long been fans of the Loire whites from the Bougrier’s 6th-generation cellar on the River Cher. The vibrant Abbesse Rosé shows the family are equally deft working with the region’s classic red grapes.
Its name pays tribute to Louise de Bourbon, a French noblewoman who, in the 16th century, oversaw the expansion of the abbeys. Her motif was the winged L.
It’s a dashing blend of Gamay and Cabernet Franc. Best known in Beaujolais, Gamay also excels in the Loire, lending juicy strawberry notes, while Cabernet Franc is more raspberry and leafy. After a gentle crushing, the juice was drawn off the skins to ensure a pale pink hue and cool fermented to retain lovely summer berry notes. Delicious solo, it's a top choice with seafood, salads or pilaf.
