Fresh aromas of red cherry, strawberry and summer field grass dusted with white-blossom petals waft from the glass. The steely palate sees a spritz of lemon before completing with a sip of white tea. The balanced palate of wild strawberries, jasmine, passionfruit, button mushroom and savory finish asks to be guzzled. Your glass will practically refill itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"La Ritournelle by Catherine and Pierre Breton is a fruity, dry 100% Cabernet Franc Bourgueil rosé. Do not confuse it with Cabernet d’Anjou (which is slightly sweet). One of the defining characteristics of Bourgueil rosé is precisely that it is dry. The grapes come from a vineyard of 50-year-old Cabernet Franc vines planted on gravelly soil, certified organic and managed according to the biodynamic calendar. Hand-harvested and carefully sorted. Alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation are carried out using natural yeasts and bacteria. Aged in wooden vats in the attic until spring, bottled in April with a light sulphur treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the wine world talks about Catherine and Pierre Breton, one will hear them referenced as \"real life bon vivants vignerons.\" This description perfectly captures the soul of this married couple. From the beginning, they have truly wanted to have fun in life and to make unadulterated natural wines long before the hipness of the natural wine scene took hold. Recently, they started the three-year process of seeking biodynamic certification. In fact, they have become international icons for the natural wine movement in an area where the climate and soil can make organic practices difficult. They are based in Bourgueil in the Loire Valley and have an impressive spread of vineyards ranging in soils and vine age. One might say the innovative couple is well ahead of the game and doing it with charm and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catherine \u0026 Pierre Breton","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":52023335584061,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/2931\/0781\/files\/Catherine-et-Pierre-Breton-La-Ritournelle-Bourgueil-Rose-2025.jpg?v=1784853406","url":"https:\/\/shopgeraldines.com\/products\/catherine-pierre-breton-la-ritournelle-bourgueil-rose-2025","provider":"Geraldine's Natural Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
