Sparkling Gamay rosé... not your usual bottle of fizz, but we sure could get used to this. A delicate nose of rose hip and pomegranate, with some raspberry and wild strawberry. Lightly floral, bone dry and very fresh, this is real warm-weather fizz.

It’s all too easy to think of Burgundy and Beaujolais wines as those steeped in unwavering traditions, trapped in the past, and made primarily for the stuffier, more pretentious side of the wine spectrum. However, every now and again we discover a winery like Vin de Broyer, whose winemakers delight in innovation and experimentation, maintaining the standards of the region while also blazing new trails for others to follow. Headed by Pierre Coquard and assisted by his extended family, Vin de Broyer was launched in 2003 on a historic site. Before long, the winery was gaining a powerful reputation for launching stunning wines which hinted at a more modern, playful approach to the region’s produce. From top-notch table wines to a now-iconic sparkling rose, Coquard and his kin have been utilising eco-friendly approaches to produce wine which sees tradition as a starting point; a reference from which to grow, evolve, and delight their ever-expanding clientele.
