Tasting Note

This has a deep hue that lies between salmon and grapefruit. On the nose, it reveals vibrant notes of citrus and spices. The palate opens with a fresh, lively attack that evolves into the characteristic spiciness of Mourvèdre. The finish is relatively saline and almost tannic, with lingering hints of spices and delicate white flowers.

Product Notes

This rosé is a harmonious blend of Mourvèdre and Grenache grapes, presenting a complex yet refreshing profile. It boasts a captivating salmon pink hue with a bouquet of wild strawberries, citrus, and delicate spices. On the palate, it unfolds layered notes of ripe summer fruits, underscored by a minerally backbone, evoking the Mediterranean terroir. Its distinct robustness makes this rosé a sublime companion to boldly flavoured dishes. La Bastide Blanche Bandol Rosé is a sumptuous testament to rosé's sophistication and versatility.

About the Winery

La Bastide Blanche

Domaine de la Bastide Blanche is a family-run estate in the heart of Bandol, tucked into the limestone hills around Sainte-Anne du Castellet. Founded in the early 1970s by the Bronzo family, it remains in their hands today, led by Thomas Bronzo and a tightly knit cellar team.

The vineyards sit on terraced, clay-limestone slopes that face the sea, bathed by mistral winds and Mediterranean light. Mourvèdre is the backbone here, supported by Grenache, Cinsault and a little Syrah, while the whites draw on Clairette, Ugni Blanc and Bourboulenc. Farmed organically, the vines are low-yielding and carefully harvested by hand to preserve fruit purity and a sense of place.

In the winery, spontaneous fermentations, gentle extraction and long ageing in large old foudres shape Bandol reds of impressive depth, savour and structure. It's rosé is a benchmark: pale, vinous and gastronomic, with wild herb perfume and stony tension; the white is bright, saline and quietly complex. It’s a domaine that channels Bandol’s rugged beauty into bottles made to grace the table and evolve with time.

The estate’s reputation rests on exacting farming, patient élevage and a quietly confident team who prize clarity of flavour over fashion, vintage after vintage here.
