2023 Parcelles Rosé, IGP Val de Loire, Domaine Réthoré Davy

The beautifully run vineyards of this 42-hectare estate are planted on the rolling hills of the Pays des Mauges - the broken metamorphic rock lying between Muscadet to the west and the Coteaux du Layon and the Anjou to the east. Set up in 1959 by Christophe Réthoré and Jean-Michel Davy`s parents, and now run by Christophe and his wife Martine, the domaine has grown and evolved into an incredibly carefully thought-out estate. Benefitting from the lack of a regional AOC, all their vines are run to produce IGPs, so they can mix and match varieties to soil types as they please - running the whole to the Terra Vitis charter for sustainable viticulture.
