Guion 2023 Bourgueil Rosé

(Arrives 11/13) 50 years of organic farming (now certified Biodynamic) and great traditional winemaking give this vibrant rosé from Stéphane Guion in Bourgueil its perfect balance with beautiful fruit and great earthy expression of the gravel and limestone/clay terroir. The wine shows lush strawberry/raspberry aromas with citrus, rose and earth. Raspberry, blood orange, melon and earthy flavors on the ripe but dry palate which is framed in firm acidity and saline minerals. This is a real rosé of terroir, and for lovers of Cabernet Franc it's one of the greatest values around - drinking beautifully now and through 2027, with burgers, turkey, roast chicken, grilled pork and charcuterie.
