Bandol Mas de la Rouvière Rosé, Domaine Bunan

Flagship Provence rosé

Domaines Bunan was set up by brothers Paul and Pierre Bunan, who relocated to Provence after Algerian indepence in 1961. They bought the quintessential Provençal vineyard of Moulin de Costes which enjoys a breath-taking panoramic vista of vines, olive groves and hill-top villages overlooking the Mediterranean coast. The brothers subsequently expanded, acquiring neighbouring Mas and Château de la Rouvière and taking over the running of Domaine Bélouvé. These estates are known collectively as Domaines Bunan. They soon carved out a reputation for producing characterful wines with a strong sense of terroir. Nowadays they are assisted by their children making this a thriving, family-run concern.

This is a stylish Provençal rosé wine with a lovely coral-pink colour and bounteous crushed-berry scents and flavours, offset with wild herb notes and the faintest rasp of tannin.
