Domaine de La Brossette Touraine Rosé 2025
£13.45
The wine
A pale Loire rosé, 70 per cent Gamay with 30 per cent Cabernet Franc, from three hectares of certified organic vineyard in Touraine. Gamay gives the red-fruited lift and Cabernet Franc the structure and the faint leafy edge that keeps a Loire rosé from tasting sweet.
Domaine de La Brossette belongs to the Delaunay family, whose Touraine wines you may know from Domaine Joël Delaunay. The estate is certified organic and small, its three hectares planted only to Gamay and Cabernet Franc, from which it makes this rosé and a red; the organic Sauvignon Blanc that carries the same label is bought in by Thierry Delaunay from a neighbour in the Cher Valley. Touraine sits in the middle Loire around Tours, cool enough that its rosés stay pale and brisk rather than ripe.
