Discover why Bandol is considered the benchmark for serious rosé. Crafted primarily from Mourvèdre, this elegant Provençal classic offers vibrant flavors of wild strawberry, white peach, citrus zest, and fresh herbs, with a distinctive mineral finish. Rich enough for grilled seafood, Provençal dishes, or summer entertaining, yet refreshing enough to enjoy on its own.
Domaine Le Galantin Description
Around 62% Mourvèdre, 21% Cinsault and 17% Grenache, from vines planted on southwest facing hillsides, with clay/limestone soil. The grapes are hand-harvested, after which the bunches are cooled down to 50C for a two day cold soak in order to extract fruit, color and aromatics. The juice is then racked off and the grapes are pressed to stainless steel tanks. 10% of the wine is saignée, the rest come from grapes treated as for making white wine. Following a cool fermentation (18C or 64F) during which the malolactic is blocked, the wine is fined and bottled. By law, Bandol rosé cannot be sold before March 1st following the harvest.
