Wine:

With its intense salmon hue, the 2021 Bandol Rosé is a far cry from pale Provençal archetypes... The same generous dimension is expressed on the nose and palate, with a beautiful panoply of red fruits and spices, a very juicy, gourmand side, around a consistent, deep body. This is a gourmet rosé with great aging potential, which is rare for a rosé. A true personality that will leave no one indifferent!

Vinification:

Hand harvested in small crates, double sorted, totally de-stemmed, crushed and slowly pressed at low pressure following maceration for a few hours, cold settling before alcoholic fermentation, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, aged in stainless steel vats on fine lees.

Organic wine, certified by Ecocert.

Color:

Salmon pink.

Nose:

Aromas of red fruits and spicy notes.

Palate:

Luscious and fruity, this rosé is dense and deep, with good body and consistency. A fine rosé to enjoy at the table!

Temperature:

Serve between 8 and 10°C.

Food and wine pairing:

Grilled red mullet with herbs, seafood pasta, grilled meats, veal carpaccio.

Cellar aging:

From now until 2030

A flagship of the Provence region, with 1 star in the RVF Guide, the Domaine de la Bégude has its own style, like no other. Recently taken over by Christian Roulleau, owner of Château Dauzac in Margaux, this vineyard is constantly raising its standards to produce great terroir wines.

With the highest vines in the Bandol appellation, at an altitude of 410 meters, and organic farming, the estate profiles wines with a unique character that not even the big names in the sector come close to.
