Subject: ❤2017 Pradeaux Rosé Has Arrived!❤

There is the appellation of Bandol  with its plethora of producers, some good, some mediocre; and then there is Château Pradeaux, the unique, inimitable, standard-bearer for this ancient wine-growing district. Etienne Portalis is the 14th successive generation winemaker that is maintaining the uniquely old-school position Pradeaux holds within the appellation. This includes making a more serious, structured and age-able Rosé

Produced from 50% Mourvedre and 50% Cinsault, via direct-press with no maceration and a bit of lees aging, it offers a rich, evocative nose of violets, blueberries, and sea salt. The palate is full and powerful, with plenty of acidity and a mineral-drenched, gently tannic finish.
Happy to Offer

2017 Chateau Pradeaux Bandol Rosé $192 6pack

Although the major part of the vineyards is planted to Mourvèdre, the Château Pradeaux Bandol Rosé is composed of Cinsault as well as Mourvèdre. After a short maceration on the skins, in order to extract a light color, the juice is fermented at low temperatures to retain freshness, fruit and bouquet. After being aged in cement cuves, the wine is normally bottled in late spring of the year following the harvest. It is one of the richest of the rosés of France, dry but full-bodied with a floral bouquet.
