2023 Chateau Ste Anne Bandol Rosé

A distinctive Bandol Rosé from the coastal appellation near Marseilles in Provence, produced from organically farmed Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Cinsault grapes. The 15-hectare Château Sainte Anne estate cultivates vines averaging 45 years old on clay and limestone soils. The wine is crafted using traditional methods with direct pressing, short maceration, and spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel. This complex, age-worthy rosé showcases the region's characteristic lantana and garrigue aromatics with salty coastal mineral acidity and a distinctive bitter snap at the finish, built to evolve over the coming years.
