Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The pale-hued 2019 Bandol Rose nevertheless offers a lovely, fruit-forward array of strawberry and passion fruit aromas. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a ripe, creamy-silky feel and a gentle, lingering finish that hints at peach and grapefruit. The blend is 55% Mourvèdre, 35% Cinsault and 10% Grenache.

Biodynamically grown grapes have gone into this crisply fruity wine with its high percentage of perfumed Mourvèdre. The zesty red-currant edge is attractive with the weight that comes from the alcohol.

This estate continues to make an outstanding rosé and their 2019 Bandol Rose is no exception. Light pink, slightly salmon color, it has a great bouquet of nectarines, white peach, and salty, rocky mineral-like notes. Beautiful on the palate, medium-bodied, clean, crisp, and dry, it’s ideal for summer drinking!

Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.
Provence’s leader in concentrated and age-worthy red wines, Bandol is home to the dense, deep and earthy Mourvèdre grape. Like Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Bandol produces characterful reds that, while approachable in their youth, are typically designed for the cellar.
Given its coastal, Provencal situation, Bandol also naturally produces an assortment of charming, aromatic rosés made of Mourvèdre, Grenache and Cinsault.
