Hampton Water is in fact a collaboration between Languedoc wine star Gérard Bertrand and rocker Jon Bon Jovi for the booming rosé market in the top summer retreat for New Yorkers: the Hamptons. Of course anyone can drink it, and if they do, will take delight in its particular peachy style – it’s like biting into juicy yellow fruit, with its lovely combination of sweetness and freshness. So, if you want a first rate dry rosé with a celebrity connection, then this is it.
