Popped and poured at La Buvette. Dark garnet with an opaque core. No visual signs of age. Consumed over three hours. Initially reticent but after about 30min, it started to show off. On the nose, dark cherries and cocoa. On the palate, dark chocolate cherry cordial, espresso and baking spices. Tannins built up over time and there’s fantastic acidity. Lovely stuff and seems built for the long haul. A super Bandol on the heels of Tempier and Pradeaux. — 5 years ago

Enough complexity, enough acidities, enough body, great harmony, 99,99% pure and absolutely no hint of superficiality. Cleaner than Pradeaux or Gaussen and earthier than Pibarnon and Tempier. Tastes exactly right. — 7 years ago

Dark copper in color. A beautiful color.
Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing raspberries, cherries, citrus, apples, spices, light earth and herbs.
Nice finish with lemons and light almonds.
This tasty Rosé from Bandol is still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.
Already drinking very nicely, and will continue to get better in the next 10 years. I had the 2023 vintage recently, and it is already drinking better now.
Rich and well structured. Nicely balanced and easy drinking.
A nice sipping wine, good by itself or with food.
A blend of 70% Mourvedre, 25% Cinsault and 5% Grenache.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
