Description
With lower yields in 2025 we’ll struggle to have enough of our lovely rosé to last through to the summer. It's pale, fresh and dry, with red fruits and lovely texture on the palate and a refreshing, crisp finish. More than just a guzzler when the sun comes out, it works well with all sorts of food.

The back label: "The house Rosé for Rick Stein for more than 15 years, the harvest is earlier than for making red, blending 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Just the free-run juice is used for this delicious, pale and dry wine, before pressing the skins. 12% vol."

Château Bauduc Rosé (Bordeaux) 2019
I can’t say I spend any time drinking much (or indeed any) rosé, nevertheless this one won me over. It has a great colour, a peachy sunset-pink, and most importantly a nose of fresh rather than sweet or confected fruit, all crisp strawberry and leafy raspberry, with nuances of peach stone, pear and acacia. It has such delicious vigour on the palate, showing weight but also poise and energy, the substance cut by a fresh acidity and citric energy. It is so delicious and so fresh, with a long, tingling finish too. Bottled under Stelvin screwcap. From a 2021 Update. 92/100
“The Bauduc Rosé is something of a revelation… It is a delightful wine. Aromatically I find delicate red fruits, with notes of peach and tangerine. It shows a lovely structure in the mouth, possessing the feel of a white wine, light and fresh, and imbued with vibrant acidity. This is really good…”
Chris Kissack, thewinedoctor.com“Very pale pink. Fresh, red fruit aromas - raspberry and redcurrant nuance. Clean and dry on the palate but with an underlying ripeness of fruit. The freshness is what appeals. Delicious.”
James Lawther MW, Contributing Editor for Decanter magazine“The other day I had Chateau Bauduc’s lovely Bordeaux Rosé, which goes against the region’s general trend of harvesting late by picking grapes (merlot and cabernet) early to keep the style fresh, dry and modest in alcohol (12% abv). You can buy the wine, which stocked at Rick Stein’s restaurants and Gordon Ramsay’s, direct from the chateau.”
