Ruth Simpson and her husband, Charles, own and run the beautiful Domaine de Sainte Rose in the Languedoc and the exclusive Simpsons' Wine Estate in Kent.

In spite of the much needed rain @sainterose over the past few days, we have been busy bottling two of our oak-aged wines from the 2022 vintage, especially for our friends at @nakedwines !

Meticulously tilled vineyards @sainterosewine, showing our side-hoe at work controlling the weeds between each vine. Under the vibrant canopy the first tiny bunches of Chardonay are forming! #hautvaleurenvironmental #sustainability #sainterose #vineyard #chardonnay #paysdocigp

Beautiful, if breezy days yesterday and today for planting @sainterosewine. Chardonnay in the clay/limestone soils beside the Chateau and Grenache and Carignan on the gravelly slopes above the Domaine @suddefrance @PaysdOcIGPWines @NakedWines

View from the top! @sainterosewine in the cab of the machine harvester picking the muscat at the entrance to the Domaine. Sadly not much fruit in the picking bins #harvest2021 #vendanges2021 #languedocwine #suddefrance #paysdoc #sainterose

[Sainte Rose -Charles @sainterosewine]

The excitement is brewing for our 20th harvest here at Sainte Rose, which kicks-off tomorrow morning! The crop is looking beautiful, although rather on the small side! @DSRRuth

[Ruth Simpson @DSRRuth]

Happy Sainte Rose Day! Today we celebrate the day dedicated to the namesake of our Domaine & look forward to the 2021 harvest, which is likely to start this week. This picture shows the challenges ahead with different levels of bunch maturity on individual vines @sainterosewine

[Ruth Simpson @DSRRuth]

@DYvineyards @sainterosewine France - we haven't come across many wild boar in Kent yet! We got hit very hard by frost down here in the Languedoc - first time in 20 years.

[Ruth Simpson @DSRRuth]

Surprised dogs on the morning vineyard walk disturbed a 'sanglier' or wild boar, who left footprints in the mud to confirm their presence! We hope they are not eating any of our precious grapes, given how few we may have available to harvest this year @sainterosewine !

[Ruth Simpson @DSRRuth]

As we look towards harvest 2021 at the Domaine, please read our latest blog on the challenges we will face this year @sainterosewine - https://t.co/urWW8XPVg2

[Simpsons Wine Estate @simpsonwine]

We are delighted to announce our latest sparkling release, which will be perfect to toast the Bank Holiday weekend!
Our Chalklands Classic Cuvée 2018 is an exquisite expression of our terroir, expert winemaking &, of course, the glorious harvest of 2018!
