Clairet, which today denotes a more highly-coloured wine than normal rosé, is the name that gave rise to the English word “Claret”. Few make it today, but it really is Bordeaux’s original contribution to the world of rosé wine. (Bruno makes a lovely pale rosé as well, but we thought this one more unusual). This example is full of fruit and vigour. It truly does serve in place of both white and red, and it keeps exceptionally well.
