92pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A classic rosé from Bandol, the 2022 Bandol Rose possesses a stony, elegant bouquet with aromas of iodine, red berries and spices, overlaid by nuances of curry and menthol. Layered and textured, perfectly balanced and moderately weighted, it’s fleshy and long with a mineral, delicate and mentholated finish. It’s approachable now but also built to evolve with grace over the next 1-3 years.

Winemaker Notes

An intense rose color, between salmon and pomelo. Complex nose, mixing floral and spicy notes of lemon, Sichuan pepper and dried apricot. Ample, dense and structured mouth with complex aromatics (pomelo, peony, pepper).
