Tasting Notes
Nice light salmon pink colour . Lively on opening. Pleasant on the nose. Tastes of grape. Useful. Bit of an edge on tasting.

AI ResearchedThe Society's Celebration Crémant de Loire Rosé is an exclusive own-label sparkling rosé made for The Wine Society by Gratien & Meyer, the Society's longest-standing producer — a relationship dating back to 1906. Blended from a majority of Cabernet Franc with some Grolleau, it is a fresh, elegant, traditionally-made Loire sparkling wine with a classy jester's-hat label that harks back to the wine's original launch celebrating The Wine Society's 25 years in Stevenage. It is consistently one of the Wine Society's bestsellers.
