Rosé d'Anjou is a type of rosé wine produced in the Anjou region of the Loire Valley in France. The wine is typically sweet and light in terms of body and is made primarily from the Grolleau and/or Cabernet Franc grape varieties, though some winemakers may also include a portion of Gamay, malbec, or cabernet sauvignon.
Rosé d'Anjou is known for its freshness and fruity flavors, often featuring notes of strawberry, peach, and citrus. The wine is often pale pink in color and can be slightly sparkling. Usually served chilled, it makes for a perfect summer drink or aperitif.
This wine is regulated by the appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) regulations, implying the wine meets certain standards in terms of grape varieties used, production methods, and geographical origin. It is considered a classic example of the rosé wines coming out of the Loire Valley.
