2022 Lafran-Veyrolles Bandol Rose Caros Wines NZ

This pinnacle offering is from the mecca of Rose, Provence's Bandol. The 2015 vintage was the world's No.2 Rose in Decanter magazine with an unheard of 95/100. Lafran-Veyrolles is a legendary organic producer dating back to 1641, amongst the very best in Southern France. Pale, dry and elegant, this perfect aperitif is also very 'serious' and ageworthy. Based on the Mouvedre grape, this offers the local freshness and poise, with layers of subtle fruit, minerals, and herbal inflections of France's Mediterranean landscape. Superb!
