All the extra heft and concentration you want from top pink Bandol. Spicy, mineral elements play nice with white peach, nectarine fruitiness. IMO, every bit the wine Tempier Rosé is, at a fraction of the price.

Vivid orange-pink. Bright, minerally and focused on the highly perfumed nose, displaying fresh blood orange, strawberry and floral aromas that expand steadily with aeration. Energetic and chewy in the mouth, offering concentrated red berry, citrus fruit and honeysuckle flavors that show excellent depth and delineation. Closes taut and precise, displaying strong persistence and a resonating floral note. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2019)

Spicy notes with faint strawberries and melon some light grip a full bodied rose

The 2018 Domaine de la Bastide Blanche Rosé is absolutely stunning. Composed of predominately Mourvèdre, with the remaining Grenache and Cinsault, this begins with gorgeous aromas of fresh white peaches, strawberries, lemon zest, orange blossoms, crushed stones and a light dusting of dried herbs that all come together beautifully. On the palate this is bright, vivid and beautifully textured, with remarkable overall precision and balance all the way through the mouth watering finish. This Rosé has it all, and it will be extremely difficult to come across a more compelling Rosé in this price range.

I like this for a rose. Similar to Tavel, it seems like it has for body to it. Strawberry and peach on nose; citrus and cream then. Both of you liked it.

Wide and deep, polished and refined, full, complete and integrated. Superior mineral complexity. Multi dimensional, precise placements of flavors that is a hallmark of a great wine.

No rosé like a Bandol rosé and as usual La Bastide Blanche brings the value. Ripe and acidic with strawberry and honeysuckle in abundance. Woof #weygandtwines

My favorite (re) discovery of the summer. Fresh, approachable & delicious. Enjoyed this as much as we did a few weeks ago. Everything I look for in rose.
