Rosé d'Anjou is an appellation for rosé wines from the Anjou district of France's western Loire Valley wine region. Generally associated with sweeter rosés made predominantly from Grolleau Noir, the appellation is now declining in importance. This is particularly the case when compared to the more complex, more serious rosé wines made under the Cabernet d'Anjou title.
Grolleau Noir is a variety that is permitted in very few other appellations. Plantings are declining, but those vines which have not been replaced by more commercially successful varieties (Cabernet Franc being an obvious example), end up in Rosé d'Anjou. In an effort to raise the quality and popularity of these wines, they may now also contain Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec (known locally as Cot) Gamay, Pineau d'Aunis, and Grolleau Gris.
A Rosé d'Anjou wine can originate in any one (or several) of the district's 150 communes, stretching from Saumur in the east to Champtoceaux in the west. This area lies on the dividing line between the carboniferous soils of the Armorican Massif and the whiter, limestone-rich soils of the southern Paris Basin.
