Cabernet d’Anjou and Bordeaux Rosé: Opposite Rules on Sugar

Two rosés of the same shade can follow opposite rules on sugar. In Anjou, the appellations set a minimum: at least 10 grams per liter (g/L) for a Cabernet d’Anjou, and at least 7 g/L for a Rosé d’Anjou. These off-dry rosés lean on fruit, peach or strawberry, and on a balance between freshness and roundness.

In Bordeaux, the rule works the other way. A Bordeaux rosé stays at or below 3 g/L of sugar, or 5 g/L when its acidity allows, so it remains a dry rosé.

It is made mostly from Bordeaux’s red grapes, such as Merlot, the two Cabernets, Malbec (Cot) or Petit Verdot. It is fruity or floral, round yet lively.

IGP Pays d’Oc sets no sugar limit for its rosés. Mediterranean grapes such as Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah are preferably used for rosé there, and the wines are described as fresh and light.

Frequently Asked Questions About Affordable Rosé

What is Cabernet d’Anjou?

Cabernet d’Anjou is a still rosé from an AOC in Anjou, in the Loire Valley, made from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Fruity and off-dry, it always keeps enough sugar that it can never be labeled dry. It is credited with a long, intense aromatic finish.

How can you tell if a rosé is dry?

A rosé can be labeled dry if it has no more than 4 grams of sugar per liter, or 9 g/L when its acidity is high enough (EU Regulation 2019/33). Up to 12 g/L, or 18 depending on acidity, it is medium dry. The term is optional on still wines; otherwise, check the appellation and product page.

Which grape makes Rosé d’Anjou?

Rosé d’Anjou is made mainly from Grolleau Noir or Grolleau Gris, which must make up at least half of the blend. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec (Cot), Gamay and Pineau d’Aunis can complete it, under the appellation’s rules.

Where can you buy affordable rosé wines direct from the winemaker?

You can buy affordable rosé wines direct from the winemaker on Avenue des Vins. Each wine’s page names the producer who made it.
