Summer Rosé

2022 Sancerre Rosé La Noue, Claude Riffault Dry | Red | Still | 14%

Stéphane Riffault, one of Sancerre's most talented winemakers with demand to match, makes rosé in only tiny amounts. We are thrilled to have a small parcel of the delicious 2022. Sancerre rosé is made from 100% Pinot Noir and this iteration is vinous and long, with a mineral backbone, as if chiselled from Sancerre's limestone soils, and a juiciness from the sunny conditions of the year. Unlike Stéphane's whites which demand a little ageing, this is ready to drink already, though do not underestimate its ability to age.

Ready: 2023 - 2028

2022 Sancerre Rosé, Vincent Pinard Dry | White | Still | 13.5%

This Sancerre Rosé is made in the village of Bué by brothers Clément and Florent Pinard, who know a thing or two about Pinot Noir. It's fresh and fruity, but with serious structure underneath making it a great accompaniment with food. It's a real all-rounder of a rosé, and easily one of the best in the appellation.

Ready: 2023 - 2025

2018 Rosé Brut, Rathfinny, Sussex Dry | Rosé | Sparkling | 12%

Just the fourth vintage of rosé from Rathfinny, this is the finest example of the style that we’ve tasted from the UK. Pale in colour, there’s notes of Seville oranges and plenty of floral notes. This has structure and vibrancy, and there’s a delicious toasty complexity at play on the palate. Wonderfully balanced, and very long: not to be missed.

Ready: 2023 - 2033

N/V Grains de Celles Rosé Extra Brut, Pierre Gerbais (2019 base vintage) Dry | Rosé | Sparkling | 12.5%

This has a similar grape variety make-up to the blanc version, with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc in the blend. Indeed, it's made from the same base as the Grains des Celles, with a dash of Coteaux Champenois (red wine) added for colour.

Ready: 2024 - 2030

2021 Domaine de l'Ile, Côtes de Provence Rosé, Porquerolles Dry | Rosé | Still | 12%

If this doesn't transport you to the south of France, nothing will. It’s an exciting new venture from the team at Châteaux Rauzan-Ségla and Canon in Bordeaux, owned by Chanel. It’s one of just two domaines on the staggeringly beautiful, and biodiversity unique, Porquerolles Island, just off the Provence coast. The schist soil and clement micro-climate here make for a delicate, sophisticated, and extremely elegant rosé. It captures everything we love about this part of France, and this style of wine.

Ready: 2022 - 2025
