James Lawther MW, Contributing Editor of Decanter magazine describes Baudue Rose thus: "Very pale pink. Fresh, red fruit aromas - raspberry and redcurrant nuance. Clean and dry on the palate but with an underlying ripeness of fruit. The freshness is what appeals. Delicious."
Gordon Ramsay, The Times Magazine, 2003: "My sommelier Ronan Sayburn suggests buffet party drinks should be light and quaffable, especially if you are a genial host. But you need to choose fresh, crisp wines that will cope with a wide variety of foods. You could plump for Rosés, although good ones are not easy to find. Look for good Bordeaux rosés... Ronan's choice is made by English couple Gavin and Angela Quinney at Chateau Bauduc."
Rick Stein: "A word of warning about this pale, dry and fruity rosé - it's very gluggable. Another winner from Gavin and Angela Quinney at Château Bauduc."
