Loire natives, Lise and Bertrand Jousset took dramatically different paths not only in finding each other, but what lead them to wine, as well. The daughter of dairy farmers, Lise worked as a server and somm in Paris and London. A butcher's son, Bertrand spent 6 years in the military before viticultural studies. Working from their 11 hectare estate in Montlouis-sur-Loir, their approach is decidedly zero-zero.
rom: Loire Valley, France
Varietals: 50% Gamay, 50% Grolleau
Tasting Notes: Gentle aromas of rose petals, strawberry, redcurrant, and crisp citrus mesh with traces of pepper and savory herbs. The palate unfolds with flavors of fresh strawberry, raspberry, pear, orange peel, and baking spice, along with with plenty of chalky minerality that lingers on the wine’s pretty finish.
Pairing: This pét-nat rosé drinks beautifully on its own and has us dreaming of a Loire Valley-inspired spread of goat’s-milk cheese, paté, and/or fish rillettes. At a picnic, you could enjoy this wine with your favorite baguette sandwich, from a simple jambon-beurre to a roast chicken/arugula/goat cheese sandwich. Other delicious pairing options include bright salads (see recipe below) or pan-fried trout with capers and some herbs.
