Bold rose from vines that average at 50 years old. Copper pink, with prevalence of red fruit like strawberry and cranberry on the nose and palate. A creamy and textured mouthful reveals layers of herbs, fennel, and a touch of baking spices. Nice acidity on the finish calls for another sip. Drinks beautifully now but also has potential for ageing – a rarity among rose wines!

Among the top Bandol producers, Chateau Sainte Anne Bandol makes its ros following the old-fashioned ‘saigne’ method (bleeding as opposed to a direct press), using ambient yeast, allowing alcoholic and malolactic fermentations to work at their own pace.
