Tasting Notes

Absolutely delicious rosé! A bright and vibrant pink colour precedes an elegant and refined nose of strawberry and juicy red fruit. On the palate there is scintillating freshness and notable mineral character. A high proportion of Mourvèdre is offset by a touch of Cinsault and Grenache, leaving a medium bodied wine with complexity, balance and intrigue. This is how Bandol (and Provence) rosé should be.
