Description
A new release for Spring 2025. Our pale, popular rosé and we're really pleased with the quality of our 2024 vintage, despite a smaller crop.
The back label: 'Our 25th vintage. The house Rosé for Rick Stein for well over a decade, we picked our red grapes early (40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon) and used just the free-run juice for this delicious, pale and dry wine, before pressing the skins.' 12% vol.
The best rosé we've made for some years. With the help of Mikaël Laizet, our consultant oenologist (sounds painful but isn't) from Rolland Laboratory in Pomerol, our 2024 is a slightly paler, prettier pink in the glass than before yet we've kept all the flavour from our estate-grown grapes.
There are fewer bottles in 2024 after a lower yield and strict selection but the quality is there. It's fresh and dry, with red fruits and good weight on the palate and a refreshing, crisp finish. More than just a summer guzzler, it works well with all sorts of food.
Available as well with the Rick Stein signature label.

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.”
