I was first introduced to Château Galoupet in April 2024, during lunch with Estate Director, Mathieu Meyer. I’d never tried a premium rosé before then, certainly not one that demanded a £50 a bottle price tag and claimed to be the wine that could accompany every course on the lunch or dinner menu, including steak.
