Chateau de Pibarnon Bandol Rose (750ml)

Château de Pibarnon's rosé comes from Bandol, a hilltop appellation in Provence where Mourvèdre and Cinsault thrive in the Mediterranean climate. This is a dry, structured rosé made in the Provençal style, meant to pair with food rather than drift through an afternoon.

Bandol rosés tend toward deeper color and more grip than their lighter cousins from elsewhere in Provence, and this one shows that character. It has the mineral spine and tannin structure that come from serious winemaking and serious grapes, not the confected fruit you find in mass-market versions. This is a wine that belongs at the table.
