{"product_id":"baptiste-cousin-marie-rose-2023","title":"Marie Rose","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis rosé of Grolleau Gris comes from a thirty year old vineyard planted over clay and limestone. The grapes were fermented as whole bunches for a week, before being pressed off to cuve until the following spring. A hazy shade of sunset, it is featherweight on the palate, offering refreshing notes of grapefruit zest, sea salt, minerals and no shortage of intrigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\"\u003e\u003cspan title=\"Propriété Familiale, le vignoble Grosbois est situé au lieu dit « Le Pressoir » à Panzoult dans l'appellation Chinon au cœur du Val de Loire entre forêt et rivière.\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLe Batossay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaptiste Cousin is the fourth generation to tend his family’s vineyards in the Anjou village of Martigné-Briand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe son of legendary vigneron Olivier, it comes as little surprise that he has continued the family’s tradition of tending this land with great care and producing pure, soulful wines of real vigour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrowing up in the vines, Baptiste worked for several years learning alongside his father and has been making his own wines for the past decade. Today he and his wife Gael farm four and half hectares of old vines planted amongst fruit trees and forests across three parcels. The terroir varies between quartz, schist, loam, clay and limestone and having been in the family for many years, the majority of the vines have never been subjected to chemicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir work is certified organic and all ploughing is done by Gael with the help of the family’s horses. Outside of the growing season, sheep and goats roam free, eating weeds and in turn fertilising the soils. Full of life, they are amongst the most beautiful vineyards in all of the Loire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few years ago Baptiste and Gael bought the Château de Boisairault, an abandoned old farm from the 1600s hidden away amongst the forest. Little-by-little, they are restoring it to its former glory. The wines are made in what was the château’s cellar, a beautiful space dating back to the 1800s which had been almost completely consumed by the surrounding woodlands when they arrived here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the simplest of tools and techniques, Baptiste produces nourishing wines of real purity. Built on a backbone of pristine fruit, they speak highly of his family’s farming tradition and possess a beautiful sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Batossay (Baptiste Cousin)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55798600204579,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/4226\/8358\/files\/618190D6-2504-45B3-B44D-FBF3F6609BF9.jpg?v=1792379590","url":"https:\/\/terroirizer.wine\/products\/baptiste-cousin-marie-rose-2023","provider":"Terroirizer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
