Château Bauduc Bordeaux Rosé 2021

€18.50
Description
St. Tropez meets Bordeaux in this dry, fruity rosé, which is a favourite of Gordon Ramsay’s sommelier.
Pale, a very pretty pink, fruity and dry. The Cabernet Franc gives the wine its refreshing acidity and a satisfying, mineral edge, while the Merlot plumps it out with a little extra fruitiness.
This lovely number is also the house rosé for Rick Stein’s seafood restaurant in Cornwall. As well as a being a lovely summer wine, we drink this all year round with any food that’s quite spicy, whether it be a Thai green curry or a pizza with pepperoni.
Oz Clarke on Bauduc: “Excellent red, white and rosé, all marked by their sheer drinkability. Affordable, approachable, Bordeaux needs another 100 Bauducs — and fast.”

Owner operators and English ex-pats Gavin and Angela Quinney fell for the lovely Château Bauduc, some 15 miles from the city of Bordeaux, in 1999. The house and the winery are surrounded by 25 hectares of pretty vineyards, where they grow Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon for their white wines, along with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc for the reds and rosé. Some of their older vines date from 1947 and the family have replanted or planted 15 or so hectares more since 2000.
The estate's Sauvignon Blanc has been the house white at Gordon Ramsay’s three Michelin star Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London, and a ‘special selection’ at Rick Stein’s seafood restaurant in Cornwall, for the last 20 years. Oz Clarke is a huge fan, stating, "Bordeaux needs another 100 Bauducs — and fast."
