I consider the Rose from this estate one of best Rosés in the world, and while prohibitively expensive in the US, it always delivers outstanding quality. The 2013 Bandol Rose (55% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache and 20% Cinsault) is another beautiful Rosé that offers classic rose petal, spice cherry and hints of strawberry in a supple, medium-bodied, textured style.

The straight 2013 Bandol Cuvee Classique from Tempier is a winner. Made from 74% Mourvèdre, 14% Grenache, 9% Cinsault, 3% Carignan and a splash of Syrah, this beauty is loaded with wild, gamey notes of blackberries, raspberries, wild herbs, olive and underbrush. Medium-bodied, silky and polished, with terrific purity of fruit, it’s ideal for drinking over the coming 7-8 years, and I’m sure will keep for longer.

(50% mourvedre, 28% grenache, 20% cinsault and 2% carignan): Bright orange-pink. Heady redcurrant, cherry pit, peach and floral scents are complicated by a bright mineral nuance and pick up a hint of ginger with aeration. Stony and penetrating on entry, then weightier in the mid-palate, offering intense red berry and bitter peach skin flavors and a touch of blood orange. Gains sweetness on the finish, which clings with excellent tenacity and resonating minerality. (JR)
