A serious style of rosé, made from local Loire variety Grolleau, blended with some Gamay. Leads with dried strawberries and plums. Quite edgy, but has a mid palate depth. It has some weight, and with air becomes more round and spicy. Crisp yet powerful.

The Deux Moulins wines come about from a coming together of some great wine minds. The architect of the project is Josh Adler, a wine importer who lived in Burgundy for a couple of years and caught the wine bug in a big way. After a short stint leading bicycle tours in French wine regions, he worked as the wine director at Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco and Restaurant Spring in Paris before starting Paris Wine Company in 2012. Here he collaborates with graphic artist Matthieu David, a key figure in the Paris Wine Company family, as well as Loire Vally winemaker Frederic Moreau. The style is authentic to the Loire Valley, using only Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir from sustainably managed vineyards. Adler uses his network of connections, developed in Paris, to get in touch with great grape growers and bottle these under the radar wines. They're designed to be an easy, everyday wine, but they far surpass that, offering a great combination of fruit, freshness and deliciousness. Excellent drinking.
