> Bandol 2013 Rosé
Camped up on Telegraph Hill, this vintage from Bandol is one of the major references in Provence, a less sunny vintage than usual, the 2012 is a blend of pressed Cinsault and bled-off Mourvedre.
It opens with a nose of red berries, then pink grapefruit and sweet spicy flavours. With slender elegance, it seduces with fruitiness and soft texture coating fine acidity, until its long, fresh finish.
A real gastronomic rosé with a powerful and harmonious structure.
