Domaine des Clos Maurice -- 'Coquette' Saumur Rosé

As with many estates in Europe, the history of Domaine des Clos Maurice dates back to the 1700s, with its current era having begun relatively recently when the great Loire Valley vigneron Nicolas Réau teamed up with the Hardouin family to revitalize their estate. Having worked with many wineries on many projects in the Loire, Réau comes from a natural winemaking background and this approach has done wonders for this historic estate. First with Organic Certifications followed by Biodynamic, they make wines of place and sustainability.
