Domaine du Gros' Nore Bandol Rose, Provence, France 2021 Altamira Maison Louis Latour

Maison Louis Latour

Alluring aromas recall ripe berry

5% alcohol and with polished chalky tannins

But the wine's natural freshness keeps the palate clean

Saint Romain has notes of white flowers and toasted bread on the nose when young

Domaine du Gros' Nore Bandol Rose, Provence, France 2021 Altamira Maison Louis LatourIf Alain Pascals Ros could speak, it would have a southern twang. Not a cutesy bubble gum drawl, but a dense, rich Mediterranean resonance as persistent as the mistral, as intense as the Provenal sun. It would sing of lazy summer afternoons stretching into evenings and the smell of homemade bouillabaisse in pans big enough to feed an army. This bottle is full of chiseled, vivid, southern charisma with a soupon of wild strawberry.
