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 authentic, dry rosé produced with handpicked grapes from low-yielding bush vines, alike those Sophie harvested many years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegional information:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Vallée du Paradis is one of the most remote and least-explored corner in southern France. The terroir is characterised by low-yielding old vines with deep roots, which result in grapes with intensely concentrated, rich dark berry flavors, and a distinctive freshness that balances its bold structure. Bijou works exclusively in HVE3-certified vineyards, promoting biodiversity and water conservation, reinforcing a commitment to both sustainability and exceptional quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification:\u003c\/strong\u003e A cold soak for the Grenache grapes enhances aromatics and builds structure, followed by a gentle press to retain purity and finesse. Cool fermentations preserve fresh fruit expression, while 2-3 months on fine lees add depth, texture, and a subtle savoury complexity. Finally the three grape varieties are blended together: Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sainsburys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48324420501742,"sku":"STO-ITEM-2026-226297","price":17.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/0125\/9183\/files\/2365x2365_5b80bf12-56bc-4beb-a409-ebef454e651d.jpg?v=1784149371","url":"https:\/\/mcgrocer.com\/products\/le-bijou-de-sophie-valrose-rose-wine-75cl-2026226297","provider":"McGrocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
