Tasting notes from Wine Enthusiast
This is a dry style of rosé. Packed with red currant and berry fruits, this blend of Cabernet Franc and Grolleau has a touch of spice to add extra interest. It is perfumed, crisp and ready to drink young.

— Domaine du Petit Clocher 2016 Rosé de Loire (87/100)
Made 50/50 from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvigon, this dry, orange-pink-colored wine has an appreciable amount of tannin as well as plenty of fruit. Acidity and ripe raspberries show strongly, as well as crisp final acidity. Drink now.
— Château de la Roulerie 2014 La Camélias (Rosé de Loire) (85/100)
The producer is following the Provence fashion and packaging its range of Pure Loire in square bottles. This rosé is dry with red fruit and spice from the Cabernet Franc in the blend. Tangy and crisp, it is ready to drink,
— Bougrier 2015 Pure Loire (Rosé de Loire) (85/100)
This dry rosé is perfumed with red-currant fruits. On the palate, the theme of crisp red fruits continues, with acidity, a touch of pepper and smokiness from the Cabernet Franc in the blend. Drink the wine, with its tight acidity at the end, now.
