Saint-Victor Coteaux d'Aix-en-Provence Rosé 2022

Yet another overachieving ‘22 Provence rosé; very satisfying after recent Provence vintages produced a cloying totty fruity pop. White flowers with a pinch of pepper greets you on the first swill. There’s some nice pineapple juice in the middle palate that takes you unexpectedly to a dry finish. This is good stuff and certainly worth a try. — 3 years ago

Tiny hint of reduction but beyond that it is super floral and with loads of cherry fruit. Iron, very mineral. Elemental stuff. Dusty and very very refined. Hit of licorice. Really alluring nose. Just stunning. These wines give nothing in their youth and then the blossom. Stunningly fresh and vibrant with still some tannic grip but wonderful balance and depth. Saps your palate and tales of over. This is truly on its way to being great. It’s long and saline and has floral echoes on the finish. Profound. But with age, 3-6 more years, this will be lights out. — 7 years ago

Bandol Rosé Blend 2022

Light orange in color.

Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing raspberries, strawberries, currants, lemons, peaches, spices, sea salt and light earth.

Tangy finish with grapefruits and limes.

This is a young Rosé from Bandol. Spicy and fruit forward. Elegant with a soft mouthfeel.

Nicely balanced and already showing nice complexity.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Good right out of the bottle and good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 70% Mourvedre and 30% Cinsault from 45 year old vines.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$40.

Excellent winemaker. Their rosé is my favourite. And the main Bandol Mourvèdre is always a winner in my book.

@Raun Kupiec I visited them this summer. Very good quality and indeed, their rosé is fabulous. I also bought the Chateau Pibarnon 2019 which I will be opening soon

I was there about 10 years ago. Beautiful spot up in the hills. Rang the bell at the door. And they were really nice and talkative as we tasted.

Nuances Comte de Saint Victor Bandol Mourvedre Rosé 2021

Salmon in color.

Fresh nose with red berries, and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with red fruits, citrus, earth, spices, apples and minerals.

This Single Vineyard Rosé is elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting. Fruit forward with enough earth notes to compliment it.

Still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

A good sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 95% Mourvedre with 5% Clairette. Aged in concrete vats for 9 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.
