Le Bijou de Sophia Valrose 2021
Languedoc, Sud de France, FranceSophie Valrose Rosé is another Coteaux de Béziers wine. The blend is 45/40/10/5 cinsault, grenache, caladoc, syrah from vines ranging in age from 20 to 50 years old, growing over rolled stones. The colour is suitably pale salmon, with a fragrant red berry nose. I love the wild strawberries, citrus, and the creamy, pillowy soft finish. Drink year round with lighter foods and most any vegan dish. Sophie Valrose was a woman who worked in the Languedoc vineyards during the late 19th century and became something of a local hero to the women who worked in the vineyards, pruning and harvesting the vines. Often mistreated, over worked and under paid, Sophie fought for women’s rights and drastically improved the conditions for her fellow female workers. This Bijou label is a tribute to her memory.Tasted: 30 July 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $29.99 | 750ml | Everything Wine exclusive |
