Newsletter: 2023 Bodet-Herold 'Ærlinn' Brut Nature Rosé

There's no need to overanalyze this wine, for its not a wine serious enough for contemplation, but that's exactly why we love it so much. A pale rosé bubbly that's brisk, fresh and drinks with ease. It's packed with delicate fruit flavors and an invigorating perlage. Simply put: we've found our quintessential summer wine.

A supremely refreshing, anytime/anywhere type wine, to be drunk in abundance with light bites or even nothing at all. Crafted by a student of champagne masters, who poured all his expertise into a bottle he knew people would love. Nothing fussy, simply an excellent sparkling rosé, guaranteed to quench your thirst on these sultry summer days.

100% Grolleau, a native Loire variety, planted on chalky soils in the northernmost part of Anjou. Organically farmed, the grapes are hand-harvested, crushed and macerate overnight to ensure a soft pink color. After six months aging, the bottles are disgorged without any added dosage.

Elegant and zesty, the pretty floral bouquet bounces right out of the glass with lilac, fresh rosemary, tangerine, pomegranate and pink peppercorn. The sprightly, bone-dry palate carries tart red fruits over a soft, delicate mousse followed by chalky minerals and a fresh, crisp finish. Simply chill and enjoy with ease. 
Etienne Bodet comes from a family of vignerons in Saumur. He's worked and studied under some of the top winemakers in France: Sylvain Pataille, Bernard Baudry and Romain Guiberteau (his stepfather) amongst them. 

Since 2020 he's worked slowly but steadily to establish his own, small domaine, while also splitting time assisting at the legendary Clos Rougeard. His wines are refined and elegant, whose delicacy and detail defy his youth.
