The Wine
Bordeaux rosé is a most elegant wine to sip and, with the excellent conditions of 2015, there’s lovely depth to boot. This pink is from a small property in the Castillon village of Sainte Colombe, where Tony Laithwaite bought his first Bordeaux estate, Château de la Clarière, in 1984. Such is his belief in the supreme quality of this village’s terroir that, since then, he has added a few more gems to his Sainte Colombe portfolio, and, two years ago, that included Châteaux du Bois and de Colombe. With Stéphane Derenoncourt’s Domaine de l’A next door, it seems Tony is not the only one to be convinced. Using Cabernet and Merlot fermented cold for maximum freshness, this crisp fruit rosé is delicious solo and with seafood or chicken dishes.
"Particularly aristocratic Bordeaux pink, with its Merlot grapes hailing from Castillon"
