The 2025 Bandol Rosé Château Romassan delivers the waxy, oily personality of Bandol, but with more brightness and energy than in past editions. Red apple skin, white pepper, passion fruit and grilled herbs paint a complex picture. Acids gain intensity and focus with aeration, ramping up all the way to the finish. The 2025 remains balanced, but the acids are notably racy.

The 2025 Côtes de Provence Rosé Château de Selle shows its hallmark delicacy and finesse in this vintage. It’s also notably more savory than usual, with an earthy bouquet of truffle, turned earth and wet stone. The acids are very much on the high side, but they remain in check, driving through with persistence. An echo of honeyed green apple lingers with a floral top note on the finish.

A finely balanced red, refreshing and focused. Sculpted, chalky-edged tannins provide a firm structure that’s nicely meshed with flavors of pureed mulberry, macerated black cherry, minerally iron and graphite. A savory push of herbed olive shows on the finish. Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha. Drink now through 2037.

Golden apple, macadamia nut, and juicy apricot and yellow melon notes are a warm and inviting entry point for this elegant white. Finely meshed, integrating mouthwatering acidity and a subtle skein of underlying salinity. This persists on the palate, echoing accents of chamomile, preserved lemon, flint and thyme. Drink now through 2035. 444 cases made, 20 cases imported.

The 2023 Crozes-Hermitage Les Launes is composed of around 80% fruit from the alluvial plains, complemented by grapes from Gervans and Larnage on granitic soils, and was matured partly in used barrels (around 20%). It opens with a bright bouquet of dark fruits and violet, offering a fresh and floral aromatic profile with notes of mulberry. Medium-bodied, juicy and elegant, it’s gourmand and immediately appealing, though not especially deep. More tense and structured on the palate than the nose suggests, it remains straight and well-defined, concluding with an ethereal finish.
