The Provencal hamlet of Bandol produces one of the most distinctive dry roses on the planet. You can literally taste Mediterranean sunshine in the glass, and that is certainly the case with the 2023 Bastide de la Ciselette Rose.
This revered producer incorporates grapes from their younger vines into their entry-level rose, and it's exceptional in the hot and sunny 2023 vintage. Coming from their organic and biodynamic vineyards within in and just outside of the Bandol AOC, it will most likely be our last dry rose feature of the summer. What a way to go out!
