The sun-drenched slopes of Bandol and low-yielding vines produce a weighty, concentrated, and sublimely crisp rosé. Based on Mourvèdre, with splashes of Cinsault, Grenache, and Carignan, it features subtle citrus, stone fruit, flowers, and herbs on the nose. The palate shows an uncommon equilibrium of ripeness and elegant acidity. Its color is limpid, brilliant and slightly salmon colored. Its nose develops fine aromas of candied citrus fruits and spices, and its palate is fresh, balanced and supported by a beautiful aromatic persistence.

Climate
The climate in Bandol is nearly perfect for viticulture, especially for the mourvèdre grape. Bandol is the sunniest place in Provence, with various mountains blocking incoming clouds. Just enough rain falls normally for plants to be healthy. Winds keep vineyards fresh and healthy, so there is very little disease worry. In the summer, ocean breezes attenuate heat, allowing for slow, even ripening.
