"Impossible to resist this high-class rosé!
"Nose of brambles, warm herbs and sweet spices. Medium-bodied, with a spicy touch in the middle and a lively finish." (James Suckling 2024). Elegant, with a saline finish, it lives up to its name!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
Owned by the Bolloré group, this 108-hectare cru classé has returned to the limelight thanks to judicious investment. La Bastide Blanche, by the same owner but much smaller, produces wines from 13 hectares of vines. The wines are beautifully consistent in all colors, demonstrating the consistency of quality in winemaking. However, they still lack the complexity and personality befitting their cru status.
