Fresh and full-bodied, this Bordeaux rosé—made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon—boasts a beautiful, deep salmon hue. Elegant and well-balanced, its notes of red fruit and rounded palate pair perfectly with your summer dishes: tomato tart, barbecues and grilled dishes, or even fruit salad.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2021 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Patrick Carteyron is one of the leading figures in the vast Bordeaux appellation. He has made Château Penin a benchmark across various appellations, wine types, and vintages. The family estate has grown from 13 hectares in 1854 to 40 hectares today. The production of reds—and particularly the fine cuvées, Les Cailloux and Grande Sélection—takes place on a stony Quaternary terroir, the estate’s most noble. The more common sandy and clay soils are reserved for the production of delicious rosés and clairets. Year after year, the clairet remains “the” benchmark of this appellation. Here you’ll find a wide range of wines at every price point, all focused on fruit, quality tannins, and freshness, including charming and generous whites and rosés, and the famous clairet—as mentioned—with its ever-vibrant fruit, which has built the estate’s reputation. The reds are richly fruity and appealing, notably the ever-vibrant Grande-Sélection cuvée.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the estate:
Rated HVE3, this wine is one of the finest examples of Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur. Penin is refining its range by focusing on limestone and gravel soils, while retaining the finesse of a fruit profile that appeals to a wide audience. Under the "Natur'" label, the estate produces a rosé, a clairet, and a red, thereby challenging the conventions of classic Bordeaux.

Review by Mr. FREDERIC B. Posted on 11/06/2023
This rosé offers good value for money; it’s a bit off the beaten path and works just as well as an aperitif as it does with a meal. Pleasant and easy to drink.
