2024 Bastide de la Ciselette Bandol ‘Var’ Rosé
Bandol rosé is in a class of its own. It is said to be the most food-friendly rosé in the world which is why it is praised by chefs like Alice Waters. It is beautifully light in color but has depth and structure from the Mourvèdre.
Pair this with actual food (think: grilled lamb, bouillabaisse, Niçoise salad, Provençal vegetables) and not just snacks by the pool. It will not disappoint!
Certified organic farming practices, with some biodynamic practices- no use of pesticides or herbicides. They follow the lunar calendar, plow by horse and hand-harvest, fermented cold in stainless steel to preserve freshness.
2022 Bachelet-Monnot Maranges ‘La Fussiere’ Blanc Premier Cru
Fruit for this 1er cru White Burgundy comes from the highest vineyard site in Maranges (avg. 30 years in age). This is a sneaky premier cru that I think would keep an eye on. It may be the best valued Burgundy on the market.
Organic farming practices, hand-harvested, native yeast fermentation and aged for 12 months in barrel.
