Rose

2003 Chateau de Sours
From: Bordeaux, France
What it’s like: Rose sales continue to go through the roof – it’s n o longer thought of as the preserve of the chubby legged chavs who fancy a change from chardonnay – and its quality has leapt. Tim Johnstone, who started Majestic Wine before buying this property in 1990 has done much to change rose’s reputation, and a painfully hot summer last year produced a deeply coloured wine which is, in effect, a baby red. It’s full of warm red fruits and is so easy to drink you’ll go through bottles of it.
Interestingly: This full-bodied rose is sublime with salmon.
