As long as expectations are tempered considering the ~$14 price, this #bandol certainly delivers above typical Provençal rosé. On the palate is the distinction with more texture and some spice plus bitter orange oil hints on the finish. — 2 years ago

Eggshell, iodine, guava-tangerine,golden apple, heirloom carrot, lemon-lime backnotes, carnations, daisies, meatiness of roast beef bordering on bresaola; strawberry blossoms. Lemon and almost ripe, wild strawberry meet the lemon lime on brick and chalkboard, grapefruit, white cranberry and tangerine. Pithy finish knocks you over as citrus slices through cleanly, and outlines you in chalk! Delicious and refreshing in all ways. #bandol #bandolrosé #rose #ChateaudePibarnon #bandolmakesthebestrosewinesintheworld #pinkwine #pinkstuff #pink #roserumble #rosebouquet #southernfrance — 8 years ago

Awesome wine to bring in the new year. 100% Mourvèdre. Deep purple color and full body. On the nose is blackberry, cocoa and roasted meat. Nice medium tannins and smooth finish. #châteauvannières #bandol #mourvedrè #frenchwine — 9 years ago

Deeply colored, the palate and nose is especially expressive. If ruby grapefruit, peach blossom were a thing, this would be it. Deep and complex, with energy, weight, and a hint of spice, it finishes clean and long, plenty of good acids buried in the '15 weight.

Isn’t #bandol one of the most reliably fantastic appellations in France? This is delicious, one of those interesting wines that sits back introverted on the nose, touch of strawberries, faint garrigue aromas but palate overdelivers with serious weight, details of watermelon, strawberry, spicy garrigue with some bitter blood orange pith on the juicy finish. The ripeness is still nicely balanced. What a major upgrade to Provençal rosé! — 2 years ago

Deep red forest fruits, silky smooth tannins and hints of creamy chocolate, dried rosemary, rich, luscious, drinking beautifully after 14 yrs of ageing. 100% Mavrud, a Bulgarian native grape linked to Mourvèdre. #bulgarian #bandol ! — 9 years ago

#2003 in southern #france did not seem to make this #bandol into a overblown bomb. This #tempier had beautiful structure and was incredibly elegant. The complexity just grew and grew in the glass. — 10 years ago

This might be my favorite #bandol #rosé - dry, delicate strawberry but with a fascinating spice and a mineral character. — 7 years ago

Do you like oranges? Fun start but I think I rather have the regular Bandol with some age.

This is another great selection from the #viticole wine club. This Mourvèdre blend has notes of orange peel, leather and rainier cherry. Medium plus acidity and smooth tannins. #bandol #terrebrune #mourvedrè #frenchwine — 10 years ago

A decade in and just starting to unfurl into the tertiary zone. Good, will be better in 3-5 more years. Mourvèdre is a tough grape to break through to the mature zone given its natural resistance to oxygen. #bandol — 10 years ago
