Rive Gauche Chinon Rosé Cabernet Franc
Plouzeaux's best rosé in years. Grippy body with some weight, yet clean and crisp on the finish. 2014

Jun 26th, 2015This is a Cab Franc rose which I picked up for $15.99. The nose is very expressive with notes of red raspberry, peach, banana, and a little bit of earth. On the palate I get tart red fruit, strawberry, red raspberry, and cherries. This is definitely fresh and vibrant with a nice finish.

May 30th, 2015Light pink color with rose petals, lilac and a hint of bell pepper on the nose. The palate is delicate and light on the fruit side with an odd note of ironing board (caught a little on the aromas too). Overall, pleasant, good sipper for hot day, but not very versatile or wowing. Drink now.

Jan 2nd, 2015This 2012 Rose is almost peach in color and very nice. The nose is one of strawberry and minerality. This is young again and I try to beat it up in the glass to really get those notes to come out. On the palate we note the tart strawberries, peach, and some minerality. No length on the palate and gets lost right off the front. This is a little on the lighter side than I like, but very easy to drink.
