Chateaux Pradeaux Cotes de Provence Rose 2023

Pradeaux’s Côtes de Provence Rosé comprises 65% Mourvèdre, 35% Cinsault, and 5% Grenache, from vines just behind the family home with
an average age of 40 years. The vineyards that comprise this wine were, in fact, classified as Bandol AOC as recently as 2012, and this wine
clearly distinguishes itself from among the vast ocean of Côtes de Provence rosé by virtue of its terroir’s unique pedigree. Relatively serious
and strapping, it drinks like a baby Bandol Rosé, offering a penetrating chalky minerality, robust red fruits, and a whisper of tannin that
contributes to a particularly long and clinging finish.
