Lionel Gosseaume Les Galipettes is a spring rosé wine, hence the name. It is a rosé that is the result of a direct pressing of Gamay grapes. The bunches are picked at maturity to obtain a rosé wine that naturally offers the expected freshness and fruitiness, but also character and body. The Galipettes remain a curiosity of the estate, produced in very small quantities.
This Touraine Rosé has a beautiful persistent pink color due to the ripeness of the fruits. The nose is open, fruity, with aromas of jam and strawberries. The taste is smooth, round with a nice fullness. The finish is smooth with a pleasant hint of sweetness.
Delicious wine as an aperitif, but also in combination with salads and cold cuts.
Les Galipettes is a delicious French Loire rosé wine from the winery Lionel Gosseaume. This wine is made from Gamay grapes.
Recommended serving temperature between 8°C and 10°C.
Lionel Gosseaume comes from a family of winegrowers. His parental domain is a stone's throw from Lionel's home, but Lionel first chose a life far away from winegrowing. Nevertheless, at the age of 37, he returned to his homeland and in 2007 took over the vineyards of Jean-Claude Maurice of Domaine de Pierre, who had cultivated them wisely from the 1960s.
This domain is called Lionel Gosseaume since 2007, it now covers more than 15 hectares, of which Sauvignon Blanc makes up 75% and Gamay about 15%. The most special varieties at Gosseaume are Menu Pineau and especially the Meslier-Saint-François. The latter is an old local variety (a natural cross between Gouais Blanc and Chenin Blanc) that is almost extinct and of which Lionel is one of the few producers in the world. He has 0.3 hectares and the yield, which he keeps low because of the strong acidity of Meslier-Saint-François, he assembles with Sauvignon Blanc to create the very original and delicious Vin de France called Climat Nº2.
