Le Bijou De Sophie Valrose Pinot Noir (75 cl), €15.00
In 19th century Languedoc, most of the work done in the vineyards was undertaken by women. Nevertheless, female workers were often underpaid and mistreated. Local legend speaks of a woman who stood up and challenged this exploitation; Sophie Valrose. Inspired by her story, Bijou is a tribute to her memory. It is an elegant Pinot Noir produced with grapes picked from low-yielding bush vines, alike those Sophie harvested many years ago.
