Hachette

"Very much at ease with rosé, the Barthès are also at home with white wines. Witness this luminous 2015 in every sense of the word, made from clairette (50%), ugni blanc (40%) and a hint of rolle and sauvignon. A Bandol appreciated for its intense, elegant fruity expression, supple, mineral attack, perfectly balanced liveliness and remarkable length. A (very) gourmet pairing with seafood".

About the domain :

This Le Beausset estate is regularly a good source of remarkably vinified rosés and whites. Monique Barthès, who went from being a model to the equally noble profession of winemaker, is at the helm, assisted by her son Philippe for the vinifications.
