Domaine De La Rochette Pineau d'Aunis 2024

Domaine De La Rochette is situated in the Touraine appellation of the Loire Valley, run by winemaker Vincent LeClair who farms sustainably and produces wines of real freshness and character. The Pineau d’Aunis is a rare and distinctive rosé from one of the Loire’s most ancient and characterful grape varieties — found almost exclusively in Anjou and the Touraine, it produces wines of unique personality that are unlike anything else in France.

About This Wine

A unique rosé from 100% Pineau d’Aunis — pale, elegant, and intensely aromatic, with orange tints and a character that is part rosé, part white wine. Mineral, floral, and utterly distinctive, this is a wine for the curious and the adventurous.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Pale rosé with orange tints
Nose: Delicate and fresh — white flowers, tangerine, lemon, and sherbet
Palate: Elegant with generous white flower overtones, white truffle hints, subtle tannin, and a very mineral character
Finish: Long and mineral with good intensity

Food Pairing

Excellent with fish, seafood, and salads. The mineral freshness and floral character also make it a superb aperitif and a great match for light starters.
