Cave Robert et Marcel -- Saumur Rosé 'Les Pouches'

Cave Robert et Marcel is part of a larger co-op called Les Vignobles Edonis founded by 40 fellow growers in 1956 along the banks of the Loire River. Their sole aim then, as it is now, is to honor the past, protect the environment, and promote Loire Valley wines around the world. I personally can’t wait to visit because I need to experience for myself the 10 km of tunnels, dug into the heart of the vineyard, and the 12th century vaulted cellar, the deepest bottling chamber in all of Europe!
