Thibaud Boudignon Rosé 2018

One of the absolute top Loire Valley producers. Substantially Cabernet Franc, with a a chunk of Grolleau, from 39 year-old vines, grown on shallow soils of grey schist, rhyolite and sand. Cool-fermented in stainless steel with native yeasts for 2-3 weeks, followed by maturation in tank for 4 to 6 months before bottling. Vibrant pink colour, this rose is made like a white wine to capture salinity and structure. Lovely texture and tension with watermelon, strawberry and mint. Wonderful.
