About the wine
Domaine du Gros ’Noré Bandol Rosé is a refined and powerful Provençal rosé, crafted from 50% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache, and 25% old vine Cinsault. Pale salmon in colour, it opens with complex aromas of wild strawberry, redcurrant, and dried herbs, lifted by savoury notes of spice and garrigue. The palate is textured and structured, showcasing red berries, citrus zest, and a mineral backbone, balanced by crisp acidity. A serious and age-worthy rosé, perfect with bouillabaisse, grilled seafood, or Provençal dishes.

Owner Alain Pascal has 17 ha of vines in the prime sector of Cadiere d’Azur. The first official vintage released was 1997. Prior to this, Alain’s father, Honoré (his name is shortened to ‘Noré to give the name of the Domaine as Gros ‘Noré = Fat Honoré) worked the vineyards but never made his own wine. Instead he sold the grapes to another leading Bandol producer at that time, Chateau de Pibarnon. These beautifully sited vineyards have an average age of 30 years with some located in the highest coolest part of Bandol.
Bandol is regarded as the First Growth of Provence producing the most serious, and well known, wines of Provence. The Mourvèdre grape variety is the basis of great Bandol with appellation laws requiring a minimum of 50 % for the red wines (though many use up to 100 % for some cuvees). As well as Mourvèdre (80 %), the Gros' Noré red also has a dash of Grenache (15 %), and old vine Cinsault (5 %).
