Goedhuis, May 2022
The 2021 Ch St Baillon is fresh, light and delicious. A pretty, rose petal pink, mouth-watering raspberry, strawberry and red cherry are layered with delicate jasmine and honeysuckle. The crisp, refreshing palate shows delightful clarity of fruit and is wonderfully vibrant. A rosé that represents superb value and a firm favourite within the team.

Matthew Jukes, August 2022
The 2021s are a little more edgy and angular than the slightly richer 2020s, and I like this stance on the palate. Saint Baillon’s ’21 is a touch greener and livelier than usual, and while the trademark melon and pomegranate juice hints are present, there are some invigorating, tangy, citrus moments, too. This is an immensely classy wine, and the value is sensational. Served blind, this could be twice the price given its grace and balance!

Saint-Baillon is a bona fide Goedhuis favourite and never out of stock. This pale Provencal rosé encapsulates the summer breeze, and offers outstanding value for money. Having been founded in 1980 by Hervé Goudard the estate was recently purchased by the Delon family. Marie Delon is running this estate with a light touch and this recent acquisition has marked a decisive increase in quality. 30 hectares of vines benefit from the natural protection of the surrounding hills. These protect the estate from both frost and hail, and draw in a cool and constant breeze, so that the grapes can ripen in the brilliant Mediterranean sun whilst retaining a fresh and vibrant acidity.Read less

Region
Côtes de Provence
France's most extensive appellation, the Côtes de Provence stretches from Toulon in the west to near Cannes in the east. The vineyards run from the sun-baked Mediterranean coast up into the Alpine foothills with their cooling influence. Rose wine accounts for four fifths of Côtes de Provence production. Formerly a drink for holidays only, consumption of rose is on the rise in both France and the UK and and the wines are more and more serious. Typically Cinsaut and Grenache are the most popular grape varieties. There is also a renewed focus on producing higher quality red wine by incorporating Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah into the blends, although combined they can only represent 30% of the blend. Plantings of indigenous white varieties are also increasing especially in the coastal areas.
