Crafted from 45% Cinsault and 40% Mourvedre, with Grenache and Carignan making up the remaining balance, the Côtes de Provence Rosé exhibits a pale-iron hue. This vintage, influenced by the unusual concentration of the 2017 harvest, showcases a complexity and richness more akin to Bandol standards than previously observed in this wine. The core essence is a robust red-cherry fruitiness, enhanced by a solid, lively minerality, and concludes with an impressively enduring finish. Notably, the vineyards contributing to this blend were designated as Bandol AOC as recently as 2012, setting this rosé apart from the vast array of Côtes de Provence offerings due to its terroir's distinctive heritage.
