Tour du Bon 2023 Bandol Rose
The magnificent Bandol appellation, known for its powerful reds and structured, elegant rosés, borders the Mediterranean Sea. Half a mile inland on a hillside near a tiny village called Le Castellet, Domaine de la Tour du Bon is quietly making some of the best wines that the appellation has to offer. The terroir here is a clay-limestone mix with a red, iron-rich subsoil. Their beautiful rosé is made from Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsault, and Clairette. Lovely aromas of red currant, cherry and raspberry with citrus and herbal notes. The palate is round and expressive, but backed by good acidity. Quite long with lingering ripeness and minerality. Serve with grilled tuna or chicken or enjoy by itself while you daydream of the Mediterranean....
