2021 Bandol Rosé Domaine de la Bégude

Certified Ecocert and AB organic. Mourvèdre and Cinsault blend. 

“Dark pink with a rose-copper cast, but not nearly as dark as the Thyrsus amphora rosé. It smells just like fresh red-apple skins. And cinnamon. Like the Thyrsus, spicy, but in a different way – as if the spices were pressed into the texture rather than the fruit. Wonderful ruck and pucker to the texture, and, like the Thyrsus, an earthiness that is both savoury and fruit-formed. Cranberry-stained leather, rosehip crushed in parchment, fresh oregano ruched into wild strawberries. It’s a cadenza of a wine – out of tempo, off-piste, distinctive, playful. It hands out pink-grapefruit freshness and pebbles – not the shiny ones – and tells you they are flowers. Gosh, this is wonderful!”
