B-21 Top Recommendation Read More
We all know summer in Florida lasts well into October, so now is the perfect time to re-load on everyone's favorite warm-weather rosés with this roster of B-21 favorites and best-sellers, each one a clear standout among the many expressions we've tried this year.
Leading off, Provence icons Miraval and Domaines Ott have once again brought all their customary Mediterranean flair and personality, while G.D. Vajra's 2025 Rosabella is another Piedmont benchmark for this beloved estate. Perennial fan-favorite La Mascaronne has 93-point knock-out on its hands in its "well-crafted classic" 2025 beauty. Finally, Bandol asserts itself as the source of the world's most serious rosés with the 2025 La Bastide Blanche, a 93-point, Mourvèdre-based stunner. "This is fully emblematic of the 2025 vintage in Bandol – ripe, effusive fruit married to surprisingly precise balance," notes B-21 Rhône buyer Andrew Kitz. It boasts plenty of concentrated intensity right now, but will certainly show beautifully in a few years if you want to know what aged rosé is all about.
Let's call it like it is – you can never have enough great pink stuff, and with so many options out there, the easiest way to fill your fridge is go with proven winners like these. |
