Chateau Canadel - Bandol Rose 2024 (750ml)
Chateau Canadel Bandol Rose 2024 is a remarkable and gastronomic expression from the heart of Provence, a wine meticulously crafted for both immediate pleasure and impressive aging potential. This distinguished rose is born from an extraordinary geological site within the Bandol appellation where ancient Triassic soils, rich in limestone and marl, rest above Cretaceous layers. This unique soil composition, a result of the Alps' folding millions of years ago, ensures perfect water regulation for the vines and imparts exceptional freshness and a signature delicacy to the finished wine.
Crafted from a classic Bandol blend dominated by 50% Mourvedre, complemented by 40% Cinsault and 10% Grenache, the 2024 vintage shines with youthful vibrancy and complexity. It presents an inviting and seductive bouquet, offering delicate fragrances of fresh citrus zest and subtle exotic white fruits. The palate is at once intense and elegant, revealing a generous core of ripe peach and nuanced spice aromas. This fruitiness is beautifully enhanced by a fine, distinctive saline touch and a sophisticated hint of bitterness that is characteristic of the appellation's finest. Full-bodied and refreshingly crisp, it culminates in a long, intense, and utterly delicious finish.
While captivating in its youth, particularly as an aperitif or paired with a wide array of meals, Chateau Canadel Bandol Rose also promises a fascinating evolution. With time in the bottle, it is expected to gain fullness and reveal more candied citrus and spicy notes, all while retaining its vital fresh and saline structure.
