Bijou Isn’t Just a French Wine Brand

A thoughtful, sustainable, and elegant wine without ever feeling stuffy or expensive.
Bijou Pinot Noir — my festive fave:
Feels luxe, subtle oak, fine tannins, red cherry. Perfect with duck, lamb stew, or a festive cheese board.
The story behind Sophie Valrose:
The range is named after a real-life hero — a vineyard worker in the Languedoc in the late 19th/early 20th century. Sophie didn’t just tend the vines; she fought for the rights of women in the vineyards at a time when they were underpaid, overworked, and largely ignored. Her courage improved conditions for her fellow workers and made her a local legend.
Give this wine a try! Elizabeth x
