Our flagship rosé Le Bijou de Sophie Valrose has received an excellent review from top Dutch wine critic, Harold Hamersma.

Hamersma reviewed the rosé on his website De Grote Hamersma where you can find all his thoughts and tasting notes on all of the best wines available in the Netherlands. Bijou scored a brilliant 8/10.

Hamersma wrote:

"Tasty southern fruit and southern herb. With ripe peach, firm raspberry, pear notes, pinch of rosemary, frisky acids. Dash brighter and tastier than 2018."
