Jean Francois Mérieau “La Rosée” Pineau d’Aunis (2016) 750 ML

The color is “oeil de perdrix” which translates to partridge eye! The grape variety is Pineau d’ Aunis, also known as Chenin Noir. Although primarily a red wine grape, it is often treated like Pinot Noir, being used to make rosé and white wines in still and sparkling styles as well as red wine. Refreshing white fruit flavors with a spicy, peppery finish describe this welcome-to-Spring Loire Valley rosé.
