Rosé 2023

This robe with orangey undertones testifies to the great richness of the flagship grape variety of Bandol: Mourvèdre.

This rosé, with its salmon hues, reveals an initial nose of sweet, fruity aromas. Predominant notes of citrus fruits like pink grapefruit, peach, and apricot dominate the nose. The palate is complex, structured, and balanced thanks to Mourvèdre, the dominant grape variety in this Bandol rosé.
