92 Points Wine Advocate

A blend of Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Grenache, the 2025 Bandol Rosé reveals an elegant, perfumed bouquet of red berries, spring flowers, pear and spices mingled with a delicate note of pepper. Medium- to full-bodied, enveloping and round, it has a juicy, elegant core of fruit with good depth, concluding with a long, saline finish. It should age gracefully over the next three to five years.” - Yohan Castaing

91 Points Wine Spectator

Delicious, ripe rosé defined by singed orange peel and fleshy melon on a plump, full frame. Delectable, savory beam of acid and saline keeps this beautifully fresh, inviting the next sip. Seamless and silky, with subtle hint of toast for warmth. Mourvèdre, Cinsaut and Grenache. Drink now through 2030.” - Kristen Bieler

Vintage 2024: 90 Points Wine Spectator

A sturdy, seductive rosé, with real weight behind its wild berry, red currant, watermelon and herbal notes. Tangy acidity pulses through, powering the savory undercurrents and length. Mourvèdre, Cinsaut and Grenache. Drink now through 2028.” -Kristen Bieler for The Wine Spectator.

Vintage 2023: 91 Points Wine Spectator

"A weighty, substantial version, with time in glass revealing grilled orange and juicy peach flavors. Creamy and rich in feel, with white mocha notes adding a sensual dimension and herbal savoriness driving freshness. Bitter quinine and singed [ilgarrigue[n] notes mark the weighty yet elegant finish. Drink now through 2028." -Kristen Bieler for The Wine Spectator.
