KYSELA PERE ET FILS, LTD.

"Bright orange. Mineral-inflected raspberry, nectarine and blood orange aromas are complemented by lavender and dusty mineral nuances. Gently chewy and focused on the palate, offering concentrated red berry and citrus fruit flavors supported by a spine of juicy acidity. Shows strong tenacity on the mineral-driven finish, which leaves behind a hint of candied flowers. - Josh Raynolds"

"Darker in color than some rosés from the region, this nevertheless has the right freshness and lift. Bright fruit flavors are balanced with grapefruit freshness and spice, with an attractively perfumed aftertaste. Drink now. Organic. - ROGER VOSS"

"For the Provence region, this rosé is on the dark side. Its depth of color parallels its depth of flavor, with ripe raspberry fruits and rich acidity. The wine is full while retaining a final freshness. Drink from late 2020. - Roger VOSS"

"Produced mainly with Mourvèdre, this orange-pink-colored wine is smooth and ripe. It has a feeling of fullness, with flavors of concentrated spice, caramel and red plum. The wine is likely to be ready from late 2019 or even 2020. - Roger VOSS"

"This is a rich style of rosé, due to the high proportion of Mourvèdre in the blend and to the warm exposure of the vineyard. But it is balanced, the rich red fruits easily cut with acidity and with a touch of minerality. Drink the wine now. - Roger Voss"

Go To Begude Bandol Rose

"This is deep salmon pink with copper highlights and is all about the red fruits. There’s strawberry on the nose but without being at all jammy. In the mouth it's equally ripe and fruity, but it's a real wine - not a bubblegum rosé. It’s structured, with an edge of tannin and a zip of freshness to balance the fruit, and a long finish. - Sarah Jane Evans MW"

Go To Begude Bandol Rose

"From a great domaine, the 2017 Bandol Rosé (80% Mourvèdre and 20% Grenache) is, as always, made in a slightly richer style, and shows complex notes of cherries, garrigue, spice, and even a touch of earth. Medium-bodied, nicely textured, and length, it’s a rosé for the dinner table and will keep for another year or so."

"This rich, orange-pink-colored wine is intensely fruity while also structured. Dry although with a good streak of ripe berry and orange flavors, the wine is very much for food. The ripe aftertaste lingers deliciously. - Roger Voss"

Go To Begude Bandol Rose

"Rich, lightly colored and full of acidity, this wine is rich in texture and flavor for a Provence rosé. Plenty of ripe strawberry and citrus flavors are lifted by spice and generous acidity. The wine is ready to drink, although it will be better from late 2016."

Go To Begude Bandol Rose

"With 60% Mourvèdre, this blend is rich and spicy. It has great acidity, still fresh and accented by red and citrus fruits. Minerality and an herbal element come from the garrigue that surrounds the vines. The wine has certainly benefited from a year's aging."

"A solid effort from this seaside appellation, the 2014 Bandol Rose has lots of cherry blossom, watermelon, blackberry and floral characteristics to go with a medium-bodied, juicy and nicely balanced feel on the palate. One of the more fruit-driven rosés from Bandol, it nevertheless has some tannic grip and should drink nicely over the coming year.- Jeb Dunnuck"
