Veuve Laperriere Rosé, Loire Valley

Veuve Laperrière Rosé from the Loire Valley is a crisp, lively and delicately fragrant sparkling rosé that captures the region’s cool climate charm and natural finesse. Made predominantly from Pinot Noir grown on limestone rich soils along the Loire, the wine gains its pale colour and gentle structure from brief skin contact before undergoing traditional method secondary fermentation. Extended ageing on lees brings a creamy bead and refined texture, while the house style focuses on purity, freshness and graceful red fruit expression.

The aromas are bright and inviting. Wild strawberry, raspberry and redcurrant mingle with cranberry, blood orange and a hint of white blossom. Beneath the fruit sits a subtle chalky minerality, a quiet reminder of the Loire’s limestone terraces. As the wine opens, gentle pastry notes and a touch of soft spice appear, adding nuance without weight.

The palate is crisp, elegant and beautifully balanced. Juicy red berries flow across a fine, persistent mousse, supported by lively acidity that keeps the wine refreshing from start to finish. Flavours of strawberry sorbet, citrus zest and a whisper of savoury herbal lift lead into a clean, dry finish with a lingering mineral edge. It is effortlessly drinkable yet thoughtfully composed, offering more complexity than many rosés in its class.

Perfect for aperitif hour, long lunches, seafood platters, sushi, goat cheese, salads with berries, or simply a celebration that calls for something fresh and pretty in the glass. It is a Loire rosé that delivers charm, brightness and excellent value.
