Bruno Lafon 'Le P'tit' Rosé 2024

Delicious, delicate rosé from the south of France with top-tier Burgundian pedigree? Yes please. As thirst quenching as a crisp Diet Coke, but for grown ups. Pristine aromas of citrus, white pear and jasmine, with flavours of fleshy nectarine and sea-salt on the palate. Invite the neighbours over for barbecue and share a bottle or two of this. They will be impressed at your good taste... 

If you recognise Bruno's surname, you have expensive taste. Yes, he is from the family of Domaine des Comtes Lafon, one of Burgundy’s benchmark Meursault producers. Bruno grew up in Burgundy, where he cut his winemaking teeth at the family winery, before moving to the south of France more than two decades ago to realise the region’s massive potential.

As a Burgundian he was particularly dreaming of making high class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in a place that was beginning to turn out a lot of the stuff, but not a lot of it very well. He works with fruit from rarefied sites like in Limoux, famed for centuries for its sparkling wine, and other plots with cooler aspects.
