Rosé d’Anjou

Expert reviews

Tasting notes from Wine Enthusiast

This is a ripe fruity wine that shows the potential quality of this often-abused style. It is sweet but it has a fine texture and crisp acidity to balance that simple sweetness. The fine fruitiness and crisp aftertaste make it ready to drink now.

— Lacheteau 2016 Château de Montguéret (Rosé d'Anjou) (88/100)

Pale in color, this is a drier than usual Rosé d'Anjou. It is fresh, soft with attractive wild strawberry fruits and a touch of orange peel. The wine has a tangy texture that makes it extra refreshing. Drink now.

— Domaine du Petit Clocher 2015 Rosé d'Anjou (87/100)

This bright-pink medium-sweet wine is crisp, bright and with a clean soft texture. Light, lively and with an easy line in wild strawberry flavors, the wine is immediately ready to drink.

— Domaine du Petit Clocher 2016 Rosé d'Anjou (86/100)

This wine balances between the sweetness of a Rosé d'Anjou and fresh, crisp fruitiness. It makes for an attractive wine that's both full of red fruits and that has a light texture.

— Château de Montguéret 2013 Rosé d'Anjou (85/100)

This is a fruity wine with its typical touch of sweetness. It has lively strawberry fruits, a hint of pineapple, fresh acidity and a soft, light vanilla aftertaste.

— Sauvion 2012 Loire Valley (Rosé d'Anjou) (85/100)
