About the wine
Show-stopping Bordeaux from one of the last independents
- This Cabernet-based Bordeaux is filled with red berry, ripe red plums, savory spices and gentle toasted oak, like the Cadillac of France's famous 18 Grands Crus Classés.
- "Château La Rose", Laetitia's estate, is a shared co-op managed with fellow independent growers, and tended to like gardens. Château La Rose Pauillac is the only wine harvested from tiny plots all over the region – and it's beaten some neighboring Grands Châteaux in blind tastings.
- A Bordeaux of this level at this price is a rare find...and you're supporting Laetitia in keeping one of the finest corners independent. Cheers to you.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Laetitia Roca
- Laetitia was born into France’s most acclaimed region, Pauillac – the famous Left Bank Bordeaux subregion home to 3 of Bordeaux’s 5 Premier Cru (First Growth) estates (Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Mouton Rothschild and Château Latour) – the high roller’s club.
- Since 2013, Laetitia’s been the Head Winemaker at La Rose Pauillac – a winery cooperative with 25 growers, producing Cabernet Sauvignon-based blends from vineyards they tend to in an ancestral way like gardens.
- Angel support can prevent the vineyards of La Rose Pauillac from going into the hands of the grand Châteaux. “Naked Wines is very important to us because it keeps La Rose Pauillac alive and it allows us to continue,” she said. You can keep Bordeaux indie - by supporting her wines!
