Chateau Pradeaux Bandol Rose 2023
$35.00Add to cartA Provençal estate that has been in the hands of the Portalis family since before the French Revolution. Today the estate is worked organically, and sheep graze between the vines for a large part of the year. Their reds are brooding Mourvedres but the rosé is a more balanced blend of Mourvedre and Cinsault. Fermented in concrete, the resulting wine is one of the richest rosés around that is dry with a full body and a rich floral nose.

Clos Cibonne Cuvee Tradition Tibouren 2022
$54.00Add to cartThis is a special Provençal rose from one of the most venerable producers featuring the little known Tibouren grape as the star. And it’s not only unique, it’s delicious. The organic Tibouren comes from vineyards close to the sea in the shadow of the Maures mountains which provide a great backing corridor for wind to keep the grapes healthy. The wine is made in stainless like most rosés but it spends a year in oak foudres aging on the lees under a thin layer of flor which imparts both flavor and texture.

Peyrassol Les Commandeurs Rose 2023
$36.00Add to cartPeyrassol produces some of the finest Provencal rosés that with a small amount of age get even better. The 2022 is drinking beautifully right now and over the past year has added an extra bit of concentration and oomph to the beautifully fresh and balanced rosé. The white strawberry, fresh peaches, and citrus notes play beautifully off of the floral spice that has developed after a year in bottle.
