2014 Chateau Soucherie Rosé

We recently had this 2014 Chateau Soucherie Rosé which hails from the Loire and is made from Grolleau (70%) and Gamay (30%). I've heard of Gamay but never Grolleau. This Rosé tasted very dry on my palate. Our interest in the Chateau Soucherie stems from the fact that the wine is made by Thibaud Boudignon, the same winemaker that made the 2012 Anjou Blanc that we had and blogged about. On the Metro Wines Website, there is more information: The vines are planted to clay, sandstone and schist soils. The wine is a product of the direct press method of vinification and the elevage is in cuve with bottling occurring usually in April of the spring following harvest.
For a wine that is $16.00 this is a very good value.
