Domaine le Galantin
Bandol Mourvedre Blend Rosé
Bandol, Provence, France
Nice and restrained but quaffable: dusty notes of strawberry, watermelon, fennel and rose, with great savory herbal notes (rosemary, thyme) on the palate. Nice, but I'll likely either try a different Bandol, or a cheaper Provence (for slurping) next time.

Oddly had some pronounced tropical notes, nonetheless quite nice. First time with this producer. Could use a bit more complexity overall. Will try again.

Substantial in body, and quite fleshy. The spicy Mourvèdre really influences the structure here. Tart cherry leads but spice prevails throughout.

Lovely summer rosé - like a flower cotton candy cloud - light and not too sweet. Love it.
