Françoise Flao and Antoine Bodet age their sparkling wines in tunnels under the village of Saumur. A slow, gentle press imparts the light pink color of this cabernet franc rosé before fermentation in stainless-steel tanks. The wine offers red plum and spice tinged with green herbal notes. Enjoy its daisy-floral finish and its firm texture with a steak sandwich on the beach. - Wine & Spirits, 92 pts
Pale in color, the NV Saumur Brut Rosé Corail is a pure Cabernet Franc with a very light pink color and a delicate nose that intermingles red fruit aromas with floral notes. Aged on the lees for at least nine months, this is a supple, round and harmonious sparkling wine with intense, well-structured fruit and texture, and it has a long and aromatic finish. The mousse is very delicate and gentle. This is a very charming Brut from Saumur. - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 its
