2021 Ferme de la Sansonniere (Mark Angeli), Rose du Jour VdF

Ferme de la Sansonnière is a historic estate located in the Anjou region of the Loire Valley, where Mark Angeli has practiced biodynamic farming since he took over the property in 1990. This wine is made from Grolleau Gris, sourced from vineyards characterized by schist and clay soils that contribute to the estate's distinct house style. In the glass, it reveals a pale, orangey-pink hue with notes of fresh strawberry, raspberry, and a subtle mineral tension that carries through a persistent finish. The 2021 vintage provided a cool, balanced growing season, resulting in a wine that maintains high-toned fruit aromatics alongside a vibrant, refreshing structure. It is ready to enjoy tonight, offering a compelling look at the precision and clarity possible when working with this rare Loire variety.
