As the springtime sunshine continues to stick around, we continue to think and drink pink. Scrolling through Instagram, you’d be forgiven for thinking that there was some unwritten law somewhere that tells us that sunny days are rosé days. And if you take a look at my Instagram feed, you’ll see that I am most definitely a law-abiding citizen.

Like the rest of the world, I love Provence rosé. I love the dryness, the lightweight texture, the white peaches and the watermelon. But I’m making an effort to look beyond the South of France to see what the rest of the world is offering and I've decided to head west - about 750km from Provence - to Bordeaux.
