About this Vineyard

Le Petit Chat Malin — ‘The Cunning Little Cat’ — is a playful Vin de France rose created by Boutinot France, the French arm of the wine company established by Paul Boutinot in 1990. Winemakers Samantha Bailey and Guillaume Letang blend old-vine Cinsault from the Languedoc with Grenache Noir and Syrah from Costieres de Nimes, pressing the grapes immediately to capture only the most delicate aromas and flavours. Harvested from 4am to keep the fruit cool, this is a dry, floral, berry-packed rose that more than lives up to its mischievous name.
