Domaine Le Galantin Bandol Rosé is a Provençal rosé from the Bandol appellation, made from about 62% Mourvèdre, 21% Cinsault and 17% Grenache. The vines grow on southwest facing hillsides with clay and limestone soil. Aromas of peach, nectarine, grapefruit and dried orange zest come with a touch of spice. The palate is round and fresh, with citrus and red fruit, and the finish is persistent and salivating. The grapes are hand-harvested and given a two day cold soak. About 10% of the wine is saignée, and the rest is pressed like a white wine. Fermentation is cool, at 18C (64F), with malolactic blocked.
Céline Pascale runs the domaine, which her father Achille bought in 1960. He made his first vintage in 1972, and she took over in 1999. Her brother Jérôme looks after the vineyards. They farm 30 hectares of terraced vineyards in Le Plan du Castellet, organically though not certified, and harvest everything by hand.
