Domaines Bunan Château la Rouvière Bandol (Rosé)

More from this producer: Domaines Bunan

  • 2025

    Pale shell pink. A hint of citrus and some wild red berries on the nose, but not particularly perfumed. Bandol solidness, substantial red fruit and firm mineral tannins on the palate. More citrus on the palate, rounded and elegant. Pretty acidity that lends rather a lot of pretty floral laciness. Nice concentration without feeling heavy. Youthful and needs time to relax and integrate. Pretty and refreshing summer rosé with a serious mineral finish.
