"The 2023 Bandol Rosé is a powerful, classy Rosé that delivers the proverbial "iron fist in a velvet glove." Deep and rich, the 2023 takes its time in the glass, gradually unfurling layers of waxy cherry fruit, Mediterranean herbs, raspberry liqueur, sous bois, crushed oyster shell and dried apricot. There's an impressive phenolic core and a wealth of complexity here, not to mention a long, long finish. This is a very serious wine with the stuffing to improve in the cellar."

"A blend of 65% Mourvèdre and 35% Cinsault, the 2023 Bandol Rosé from Château de Pibarnon offers up a delicate, complex bouquet of spices, licorice, red berries, lemon, spring flowers and herbs. Medium-bodied, enveloping and beautifully structured, it's round and juicy with a delicate, lively core of fruit and a mineral, calcareous finish. This is a classical rosé wine from Bandol."

"Aromas of potpourri, hay, dried apricots, and bitter orange acidity. Tight minerality with a weighty jasmine twist. Peach yoghurt, grapefruit, lemon custard notes. Creamy quince palate, savoury orange peel, and balanced acidity on the finish."
