This Cabernet d'Anjou rosé wine is salmon-pink in colour, with fresh, inviting, crushed-raspberry aromas, the merest hint of pepper, and a juicy palate for carefree summer drinking. Certified organic.
A wine not to be overlooked - the region's classic rosé wine, Cabernet d'Anjou. A perfect aperitif on a hot summer's day, this rosé wine is also very adaptable and can be served with a varied range of dishes such as savoury-sweet or spicy exotic food, (Indian, Thai or Chinese cooking), quiches, or a melon topped with berries.

Vincent Lecointre
Cyrille Lecointre is an eighth generation Angevin grower who recently took over Château La Tomaze from his highly-regarded father, Vincent, a former president of the Coteaux du Layon appellation. Joined by his American wife, Kimberly (who also teaches business English part-time), Cyrille has set about re-energising the estate with a conversion to organic (effective from 2017), streamlining of the cuvées and smart new labels. The domaine, situated in Le Champ-sur-Layon, makes a carefully crafted Cabernet d'Anjou rosé alongside elegant Coteaux du Layon sweet wines.
