Pierre Chainier Rosé d'Anjou is Watermelon pink, with summer pudding aromas on the nose. The medium-dry palate has red apple, some perfumed white peach with a balancing, refreshing acidity on the finish.
Formed in 1973, Pierre Chainier is both a négociant and the owner of some 250 hectares of vines in the heart of Touraine, from which it sources classic Loire varieties. Its eight Touraine estates include Domaine de la Bruyère in the newly established appellation of Touraine-Chenonceaux. Conversely, Clos de Nouys, its 25 acre Vouvray estate, is one of the oldest in the appellation. Here, vines average 35 years of age in vineyards that were already listed amongst the best sites on geological maps dating from 1907.

Sourced from classic Loire grape varieties, Grolleau and Gamay, grown on very typical terroirs of clay and sand (silica). The wine is fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright, fragrant fruit before being bottled in the March after harvest.
