Chai de la Dive is the collaboration of rockstar Loire winemakers Romain Guiberteau and Brendan Stater-West. These dudes, especially Guiberteau, qualify as cult wine figures not just in the Loire Valley, not just for Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc fans, but in all of France. The Guiberteau wines, depending on which bottling, sell for up to $100 to collectors around the world. The Chai de la Dive wines are made not only to introduce new drinkers to their wines, but also to offer something to drink young and without pretense. This Rosé is 100% Cabernet Franc and offers a nice contrast to Provençal Rosé. The seductive nose leads to the very energetic palate with crunchy red fruit, pepper and a lashing of limestone minerality all framed by piercing acidity which provides balance and supreme refreshment. Enjoy now and over the next two years.
