2021 Chateau Ste Anne Bandol Rose

Salmon pink in colour with an intensely scented nose of raspberry, water melon and pommegrante alongside some blood orange and stony mineral notes. Gently tangy blood orange, raspberry and strawberry fruits glide across the palate with a slippery feel underscored by notions of water melon, tangerine and flinty wet stone characters. Finishes dry with zingy acidity and an aftertaste that’s both highly refreshing and savoury.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 13%

Other Reviews….
It’s Chateau Ste Anne on the bottle, which may lead to some minor level of confusion, though for consistency (my own), I’ll keep it as Sainte.
Redcurrant, fresh strawberry, aniseed, lilac, rosehip and assorted floral perfume. It’s silky and fine, gently earthy sporting quiet complexity, gloss and flint, fine balanced acidity, and a very long spicy and chalky finish. Perhaps a little tangerine in the mix too. It’s a lovely, composed, and excellent example of Bandol rosé. Drink 2022-2024+
