An estate that continues to ratchet up the quality level, Domaine du Gros Nore’s 2014 Bandol Rosé is a beauty that does everything right. Loaded with notions of flinty minerality, orange rind, tangerines and honeysuckle, it hits the palate with beautiful fruit intensity, lively, integrated acidity and a tight, focused, clean finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. This is a classic Bandol rosé that offers beautiful drinkablity now, yet will have 2-3 years of prime drinking.

Light orange. Displays powerful red berry and peach aromas, along with notes of blood orange, dusty minerals and lavender. Silky and expansive in the mouth, with pliant raspberry and floral pastille flavors given spine by juicy acidity and a zesty mineral note. Closes spicy and precise, with persistent minerality and a touch of orange pith
