This is a rich wine, its Mourvèdre giving concentration and a fine structure. From one of the Ott domaines, it has spice as well as layers of red fruits. Drink from later this year. Organic.

Boasts a beautiful core of fleshy white fruit and red currant, with mineral density and concentration on the palate. Richly textured and pure, with nice range to the dried hay, fresh chive, citrus pith and jasmine elements. Reveals a bitter quinine note, which brings focus to the long, harmonious finish. Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Grenache. Drink now through 2027. 6,100 cases imported.

The 2022 Bandol Rose Chateau Romassan, a blend of 55% Mourvèdre, 25% Cinsault and 20% Grenache, reveals aromas of lemon, licorice, spices, peach, red berries and spring flowers. Moderately weighted and nicely balanced, it is built around lively mineral acids. It's a very singular, rather Provençal interpretation of Bandol.
