“This estate’s rosé is often among my favorites, and the 2024 Bandol Rosé is no exception. It blossoms in the glass with a lively, vibrant bouquet of pomegranate, spices, crushed stone, curry leaves, and lime. Concentrated, smooth, and brilliant, it offers both finesse and charm on the mid-palate. It concludes with a long, briny finish, offering a sense of harmony and precision. Generous yet balanced, this Bandol Rosé possesses the intensity and structure needed to age gracefully over the next few years. It is a blend of 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache Noir, and 20% Cinsault. ” (Wine Advocate 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
4-Star-Rated Estate (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
A terroir within a terroir—that sums up Terrebrune, a cherished estate led by co-managers Reynald Delille and Jean d’Arthuis. Located in Ollioules, this estate near the Mediterranean balances the sea mist with first-rate limestone soil. No brute force, nor overly intense color, but wines imbued with sensitivity—ones that deserve time to mature and reveal their full range of aromas. More recently, Julien Paul, a brilliant technical director, has helped the trio assert itself and refine Terrebrune’s precious character. The 2019 vintage ranks among the finest of the refined and elegant Bandol wines.

Rated Estate (2024 Guide) Green Guide (These estates represent the pinnacle of French winemaking. They feature the finest terroirs cultivated by the greatest winemakers. Tasting their wine is always a magical experience.)
About the wine:
Once again, the 2024 rosé proves that Mourvèdre is a rebellious grape when young; you need to let it age for at least a year to smooth out the thiolic notes in its rich, balanced profile.
About the estate:
Located in the town of Ollioules, the estate features 35 hectares of vineyards planted on terraces facing the Mediterranean Sea, which it cultivates using organic farming methods. The vineyard benefits from Triassic clay-limestone marl soil unique to Bandol, which gives it a distinctive character. The property is located just a few kilometers from the sea and benefits from sea mist, which is ideal for Mourvèdre.
