Chateau Pradeaux 2025 Bandol Rose, Provence, France

The 2025 Chateau Pradeaux Bandol Rosé is a highly anticipated, structured, and age-worthy Provence rosé.  Known for being one of the richest and most complex in the region, this wine features a blend of roughly 70% Mourvèdre and 30% Cinsault, offering notes of wild strawberry, peach, and savory herbs.  Full-bodied, dry, and robust with a distinct savory mineral backbone and a long finish.  Organically grown.  Ideal for grilled seafood, bouillabaisse, and Mediterranean cuisine.

“The 2025 Bandol Rosé is already showing beautifully, offering a medium-bodied palate with lovely drive and freshness, the latter especially impressive given the warmth of the vintage. There is a sense of poise here that sets it apart, combining Mediterranean sun with real structural discipline. This is precisely why great Bandol Rosé enjoys such a cult following—it is not merely refreshing, but serious and characterful with the depth to evolve in bottle. Few Rosés in the world occupy that space so convincingly, and this wine is a clear reminder of the category’s highest possibilities.”—Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous
