Did you know?
Grolleau is a typical grape variety of the Loire basin, best known for its rosés. It has an interesting history: once the grape of choice for fine Loire wines, it was gradually eclipsed by more renowned varieties. However, in the 1980s, a revival took place thanks to growing interest in light, fruity rosés. Today, Grolleau has regained its place, particularly in fresh, pleasant rosés that are perfect for an aperitif on the terrace or a picnic.
