A still rosé harvested and vinified by the previous owner of the domain, Xavier Caillard of Les Jardins Esméraldins. The fruit came from Caillard’s younger vines on a south-east facing hillside with clay-limestone soils. After 10 days of whole-bunch maceration the pressed wine was aged for 3 years in stainless steel vats and followed by 4 years in barrel. Bottled in May 2022 by new owners of the domaine, Les Jardins de la Martinière, this wine is a deep shocking magenta in the glass with a richness, complexity, and texture to match. An earthy, supple rosé that with its complexity drinks almost like a light red. It’s an entirely unique bottle from this legendary winemaker. A once-in-a-lifetime bottle.

The former property of Xavier Caillard, the famed Anjou chenin and cabernet franc producer has been brought back to life by a Japanese transplant, Kaya Tsutsui with some help from natural wine legend, Hirotake Ooka. They are looking to continue Xavier's tradition of long elévage, though it's hard to come straight out with 15 year old wines, so they have released some younger beginning the long aging process on new wines. The property is stunning, with 3 hectares of vibrant vineyards around an ancient house with deep tuffeau caves. Very exciting new arrival that we've been patiently waiting for for over 5 years.
