Gratien Meyer, Crémant de Loire Rosé Brut, Loire, France NV

Creamy toast and pink grapefruit and cherry on the nose, hinting at the 70% Cabernet Franc in the blend. More buttery on the palate, showing good freshness and subtle fruit notes – sweet honeydew melon, pink grapefruit and sweet spices. Relatively generous residual sugar (11.1g/L) brings a soft, rounded texture. Easy, frothy and cheerful, with gentle bitter citrus peel on the finish.
