history
In 1957, around forty winegrowers grouped together to confront the economic difficulties of the era, pooling far more than mere financial concerns. At the time, Robert, Marcel, Yvon, Geneviève and the others, hailing from the same terroir, hewn from the same rock and sharing the same time-honoured values, set up their cooperative at the top of the hill in Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg. “They chose to share their experience, their expertise and their dreams„

The Prince Alexandre Cremant de Loire Rose begins with inviting aromas of strawberries and white peaches which are woven together with blossoms and crushed stones which all come together and emerge from the glass. This continues to impress with its freshness and overall balance that leads up to the crisp finish. 100% Cabernet Franc.
