Lafran-Veyrolles Bandol rosé 2022

An exceptional Bandol rosé - a gourmet wine crafted with depth, substance, and complexity.

Producer: Domaine Lafran-Veyrolles, La Cadière d'Azur (Var).

Domaine Lafran-Veyrolles, a fully organic estate in Bandol, is renowned for its quality and authenticity under Jean-Marie Castell’s guidance. Situated in the hills of La Cadière-d’Azur, the vineyard’s red clay soils and cooling sea breezes enhance the wine’s complexity. This rosé, crafted using a blend of the saignée method and gentle pressing, undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation and a six-month cuvée ageing, achieving its signature structure and depth.

What we say: "This Bandol rosé is anything but a soulless rosé - it’s a wine crafted for true enjoyment, with layers of complexity and depth that make it perfect for pairing with food, any time of the year. On the eye, its pale salmon-pink hue invites anticipation, while the nose reveals enticing aromas of wild herbs, soft peach, and subtle red fruits. On the palate, it offers a balanced richness with notes of southern spices, white pepper, and delicate raspberries, all lifted by a fresh minerality. With exceptional quality at just over £20, this is a rosé that truly delivers both character and value."
