Chateau Soucherie is quite a house. This is true of both the consistently delicious wines they make and the literal building at the heart of their vineyard (really, it’s worth looking up). The fairy-tale-ready house is accompanied by a 34 hectare domaine that stretches from Chaume, the bullseye at the center of the Coteaux du Layon, to Savennieres, where most of the best dry Chenin Blanc is made. Almost as an afterthought, the cellarmaster at Soucherie is Thibaud Boudignon, who is one of the younger rockstars of Anjou in his own right. Chenin Blanc may be Soucherie’s main activity, but their rosé is a casual delight. Blended from 70% Grolleau and 30% Gamay, it has that quality of tension that allows it to be both powerful and light. Red cherry, ruby grapefruit, with a dusting of sandy earth and white pepper. The palate is red cherry and lime, light bodied, with hints of lightly smoky soil, and vivid citrus notes on the finish. Serve this with appetizers and small plates with shellfish, potatoes, or soft cheeses.
