Mary Taylor Saint Pourcain Rose (Sylvain Miniot) 2021 750ml

Saint-Pourçain is nestled in Auvergne, one of France’s oldest wine regions. Terroirs range from chalky clay slopes of the Sioule River to high sandy gravel alluvial terraces overlooking the Allier River and granite soils in the western vineyards. Sylvain Miniot is an integral part of Saint-Pourçain’s current story and today serves as the chief oenologist of the co-op where he has worked since 1990. Sylvain’s rosé is a pure, 100% Gamay delight. Aged five months on its lees in stainless steel tanks, it shows a light salmon-pink hue and reveals aromas of peach and apricot along with hints of raspberries and rose petals. Certified sustainable.

The result is a refreshing and vibrant wine with nuanced aromas, making it a perfect companion for various occasions. Whether sipped on a summer day or paired with a gourmet meal, rosé blends exemplify the epitome of elegance, inviting both novices and connoisseurs to explore the nuanced world of wine.
