2021 Francisque Lapandéry Côte Roannaise Rosé Vieilles Vignes Raisin Egrappe Rosé Blend
Rich coppery salmon color from gamay base grape, a rarity in the Loire appellation. Flavors of red rose petals sauteed in butter with more body and depth than most roses. Equally fine as a sipper or food wine. Glad I bought several (on spec, along with a few bottles of the red from this house).

Nice note, wine sounds fun.
Gamay's not really a rarity in Loire though, besides Cote Roannaise pretty common in Touraine (reds and roses).

Dale, you're right I forgot about Touraine. And of course if you live in the Cote Roannaise they're not rare at all. But just in this forum? Tim York mentioned one in November last year and someone brought one to a geek tasting I was at the month before, but prior to that? Rahsaan, in 2020. That's really what I meant by rare--one rarely sees them mentioned.
