Terrebrune, Bandol Rosé, France 2023

Before acquiring vineyards, Georges Delille trained as a sommelier in Paris.  In 1963, he bought what would become Domaine de Terrebrune, a property in Ollioules, just east of Bandol, framed by the Mediterranean and the mountain called Gros-Cerveau. He was later joined by his son Reynald.  His rosé has an uncanny ability to age as a fine red or white wine.  Buy some now and keep some for a few years to come.  Pairings: Poached seafood, oysters, grilled shellfish, chicken Grapes: 85% Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsault Soil: Clay, Limestone Farming: Organic
