2006 Bandol Rosé Domaine Le Galantin

SKU #1031972

According to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "According to the literature I was given, this is a blend of 55% Mouvedre, 25% Cinsault and 30% Grenache! Whatever, this is a charming rose. Very neutral, stony nose, a touch of rosewater, lime and wet stones. Tight. The palate has good fruit concentration, crisp acidity with an attractive minerally finish suffused with white peach and a touch of oyster shells. Very fine. Drinking 2007-2009." (06/07)

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Provence

- Provence encompasses the southeastern portion of France that borders the Mediterranean. The largest appellation in the region is the Cotes de Provence that spans 49,600 acres of land in and around Marseilles. Thirteen different varietals are grown in this appellation with the most important grapes being Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache, and Mouvedre. While much of the production is dry rose, there are many more serious wines being made from the area. Some of the most important smaller appellations within Provence include Bandol, Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence, and Coteaux Varois.
