How about a crémant made from 100% Cab Franc?😋

always!! Love love this style. Do you have a favourite?

Gotta be Arnaud Lambert's. Pretty sure his latest release is 100% Cab Franc. Then there's the usual suspects -- Bonnamy, Bouvet, Grenelle. Any marque will do!

I do love me some sparkling Cab Franc rosé. Arnaud Lambert has my heart. That might require a separate post!! 😍

Waiting to hear all about it in that "separate post"! ;^)

Haha. Noted! I need to track down the bottles, which is a little challenging outside of the Loire. But I’ll work on it! 😊

Out of curiosity, any of these rose available at the LCBO

Oh, John, I wish!! I have bought a few via agents in the province (Olga and Bernard Baudry) and some in the SAQ in Quebec. I have yet to see a Cab Franc rosé from the Loire available in the LCBO. Feel free to DM or email me and I can better assist.

I’ve been drinking so much rosé lately. What’s so lovely about this post is that in the sea of rosé options, you’re honing in on a specific experience 👏🏿👏🏿 Sending ❤️ while I sip this tempranillo pet’nat🍷

Thank you for reading and commenting, Dink! ❤️ It’s lovely to hear from you. Your words are always and inspiration. You are in the best place for rosé consumption - so many options in Miami! Hopefully you can find a cool one of Cab Franc to try. If you do I’d love to hear your thoughts!

That’s awesome to hear! I find all of the wines from du Petit Thouars to be quite structured and concentrated, so I’m not surprised that the Rose has lived as long as it has. So cool. I wish I could try it. Thank you for sharing! ❤️
