Floral, lemon, petrol and pine aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this lightweight yet intense dessert wine. Classy and elegant, with an airy, passion fruit pâte de fruit–infused finish. Drink now through 2040.

Sleek acidity is a refreshing backbone for this graceful white, which offers flavors of poached pear, melon rind, preserved lemon, vanilla and anise, all underscored by a racy streak of mineral-laced petrol and saline. Drink now through 2036.

Elegant and supple in texture, this red evokes cherry, strawberry, pomegranate, rose and wild herb flavors. A spice hint adds more detail as this plays out gracefully on the fruity, savory and spicy aftertaste. Beautifully put together and should age well. Drink now through 2043.

This 2021 Bandol Romassan displays an extremely intense, deep color approaching violet purple, with powerful aromas of India ink, game stock, and slightly jammy plum. The palate rests on dense, rich, plush tannins and well-structured material. It is still a touch young; leave it three years to find its fullness. Best from 2027-2031.

The 2024 Bandol Romassan rosé is blended and elegant, with a fine compromise between a sustained color intensity and a full palate of rounded, coated tannins. It is a rosé of body and material that will drink well over 10 years; lovers of spiced rosés will find their happiness here. Drink now-2034.
