La Rosée and a Touraine sunset

2008 La Rosée, AC Touraine Jean-François Merieau

Delicious glass of the rosé from Jean-François Merieau (Bois Vaudons, Saint-Julien-de-Chédon). Made from Pineau d'Aunis, it has a characteristic hint of pepper before the red fruits, especially strawberry and raspberry kick in. It has been opened the day before when apparently it was rather tight and severe. Clearly a bit of air had worked wonders!

Later on quite a dramatic sunset@Les Bergers, Epeigné-les-Bois ...........


..... then a rather unsettled sky. The weather forecast for Indre-et-Loire, however, is good until Friday. To be followed by a very wet Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
