The 2025 Bandol Rosé is already showing beautifully, offering a medium-bodied palate with lovely drive and freshness, the latter especially impressive given the warmth of the vintage. There is a sense of poise here that sets it apart, combining Mediterranean sun with real structural discipline. This is precisely why great Bandol Rosé enjoys such a cult following—it is not merely refreshing, but serious and characterful with the depth to evolve in bottle. Few Rosés in the world occupy that space so convincingly, and this wine is a clear reminder of the category’s highest possibilities.

A sturdy, distinctive rosé, with classic Bandol power dialed up higher. A weighty, creamy core of dried strawberry, herbs, blood orange and hibiscus is laced with red currant gelée. Red tea tannins bring grip to the complex, substantial finish, which stretches way out and is etched in stone and bitter mineral elements. Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Drink now through 2031. 1,516 cases imported.
