Bandol Rosé Château de Pibarnon 2011Our price: £25.75With panoramic views of the Bandol vineyard and the Mediterranean Sea, Château de Pibarnon sits proudly atop of ‘Télégraphe Hill’, so-called because it was once the sight for a station of the Toulon-Paris optical telegraph system. Acquired by Comte Henri de St-Victor in 1977, a successful businessman who spotted the potential of the then derelict estate, the resurrected Château has been restored to its full glory, but more importantly for us, so have the glorious vines that surround it. Since the initial regeneration program was initiated, the estate has grown exponentially, now covering a 50 hectare area. The Bandol is traditionally home to rough wines, as a result of the granite based soils, yet Pibarnon stands out as producing remarkably subtle and sophisticated wines, thanks in the most part to the altitude of the vineyards and their limestone bedrock.
Bodegas Altanza, Rioja Rosé, 2011Our price: £8.80With the philosophy of producing quality wines at a reasonable price, Bodegas Altanza sprung to life in 1998 when a group of like-minded local businessmen decided the Rioja wine market needed a shot in the arm. The result was quite spectacular, and these days, the estate, controlled in chief by Oscar Martinez Hueda, produces a range of wines that cater for all tastes and budgets.
Canard-Duchêne Cuvée Léonie Rosé Champagne NVOur price: £31.30CHAMPAGNE CANARD-DUCHÊNE – Alain Thienot
Cremant de Loire Rosé NV Domaine LangloisOur price: £15.35Langlois-Château is a Domaine with a rich history, spanning well over a century. The estate’s first owner, Edouard Langlois, was killed in combat during the First World War, causing the business, which had specialised in the production of sparkling wines to momentarily hit the rocks. The Domaine was swiftly back on its feet however and continued to produce wines of the highest quality, so much so that, in 1973, Maison Bollinger bought into the business, acquiring majority ownership.
Domaine Bassac 'Lo Bartas' Organic Rosé 2012Our price: £8.70An organic family run estate based in the small medieval settlement of Puisalicon. The 60 hectare estate provides varied soils as well as grape varieties, their whites made from Sauvignon, Muscat and Chardonnay, while their reds are created using Carignan, Grenache and Cinsault among others. They cultivate all their vineyards in a completely organic manner, using compost and organic fertilisers to treat their soil and completing all weeding and ploughing by hand. They also only use natural products to treat their vines and other crops.
Domaine Rimauresq Rosé 2012Our price: £13.00With Director Pierre Duffort calling the shots at the head of a well-regarded team of winemakers, it is no surprise that Domaine Rimauresq has been lauded by critics in recent years for its excellent produce. Duffort himself has been acclaimed as the key to the estate’s success, thrice being name by Guide Hachette – the well-known annual French Encyclopaedic wine guide – in their list of top winemakers. Having previously worked at La Moutete, his family domaine, Duffort has not single-handedly hauled Domaine Rimauresq into the upper echelons of Provencal rose production, as the Domaine was actually awarded Appellation Côtes de Provence Cru Classé status as early as 1955. Named after the river which flows through the heart of the estate – the ‘Real Mauresque’ – Domaine Rimauresq is the home of 9 grape varieties that are cultivated to produce red and white as well as rose wines – which are known for being slightly darker than many other examples of rose from the region.

Mas Juliette Rosé VdP des Côteaux du Verdon, Sylvain Manson, 2011Our price: £9.40Sylvain went to school with Philippe Larue in their home town of Lyon. Sylvain, who has just been elected Mayor, has now established himself in Esparron, a picturesque Provençal village at the foothills of the Alps. Due to the altitude of the vineyard, the trademark of his wines is freshness. They are honest and very approachable, offering Provence quality at a bargain price. The rosé is a blend of Grenache and Cinsault with a little bit of Ugni Blanc bringing a touch of freshness to this aromatic, juicy wine.

Sancerre Rosé Domaine Yves Martin 2011Our price: £14.65Having assumed control of the vineyard in 2004, Pierre Martin has continued the work of his father Yves in producing some of the best Sancerre of the region. Renowned in the business as a highly experienced and respected wine taster, Pierre now runs the 11.5 hectare estate, under the watchful eye of his semi-retired father. Thanks to the Domaine’s location, covering areas of both ‘Chavignol’, chalky earth heavily laced with stones, and ‘terres blanches’, largely composed of limestone and clay, Pierre’s wines are citrussy, heavily accented by minerals and extremely refreshing.
Sancerre Rose, Jean-Max Roger, 2010Our price: £19.70Still controlled by the famous Roger family, who have been winemakers since the early 17th century, this estate has expanded greatly in recent years, yet still only comprises 26 hectares of vines.
