Producer Information: Gratien & Meyer
Gratien & Meyer, established in 1864 in Saumur within France’s Loire Valley, has built its legacy on crafting sparkling wines that reflect the region’s limestone-rich terroir. The house was founded by Alfred Gratien and Jean-Albert Meyer, who combined traditional Champagne methods with local grape varieties such as Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc to create expressive Crémant de Loire. Their cellars, carved into tuffeau stone cliffs overlooking the Loire River, provide ideal conditions for slow aging and nuanced development of their cuvées. Beyond their signature sparkling wines, Gratien & Meyer also produces still Saumur Blanc and Rosé wines that highlight the freshness and minerality characteristic of this historic winemaking area. Their commitment to meticulous hand-harvesting and extended lees aging underscores a philosophy rooted in authenticity and respect for local viticultural heritage.

Rosé & Blush wines are characterized by their pink hue, which is achieved through limited skin contact with red grape varieties during fermentation. These wines can be further categorized into Rosé Sparkling Wine, made from grapes like Pinot Noir and Grenache, and Blush Sparkling Wine, typically produced from Zinfandel and Merlot. Both styles offer a refreshing alternative to traditional white or red wines, appealing to those who enjoy a balance of fruitiness and acidity.
Rosé Sparkling Wines often feature flavor notes of red berries such as strawberry and raspberry, complemented by citrus zest and floral hints. They can range in sweetness from Brut Nature to Demi-Sec, making them versatile for various occasions. In contrast, Blush Sparkling Wines tend to lean towards off-dry or semi-sweet profiles with flavors of watermelon and peach. Both types pair beautifully with a variety of dishes; Rosé complements seafood and light salads while Blush enhances spicy Asian cuisine or barbecue fare.
