"This richly structured rosé is bursting with red fruit, interspersed with grapefruit, citrus and hints of hazelnut. The wine is mature, full-bodied, well-balanced and ready to drink." (Wine Enthusisat 2021). A gastronomic rosé par excellence!

Bandol
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (2020 guide) 4*Stars (Very high quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)
About the domain :
The château is one of Provence's great estates. Éric Boisseaux, one of the pillars of the Bandol appellation, has taken over the reins and now works with his son Charles-Eric. For a long time, they produced a single grand cuvée in all three colors, but with the arrival of the younger generation, the range is evolving and a breath of youth is blowing through the cellars. The classic Bandols reds have an undeniable capacity for ageing, quickly taking on nuances of tobacco and leather, which slowly develop a patina over time: they are among the finest expressions of the appellation's reds.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2021) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
This family adventure began in 1956 with Colette Boisseaux, and has continued with her son Éric and today her grandson Charles-Éric. The estate boasts 34 hectares of vineyards, commanded by a 19th-century château whose older winery bears witness to winegrowing activity as far back as the 16th century.
