In the early ’70s Michel and Louis Bronzo acquired the property of the Bastide Blanche, with the goal of producing top Bandol wines to rival their more famous cousins in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Their painstaking efforts were rewarded in 1993 when vintage conditions created the benchmark year that put both Bandol and Domaine de la Bastide-Blanche on the map. They always use a minimum of 75% Mourvèdre for the reds and rosé, and yields are kept very low, never exceeding more than 35 hl/ha. This delightful rosé includes some Grenache and Cinsault along with the Mourvèdre and is unbeatable as an accompaniment to Provençal fare like stuffed zucchini and seafood soups.
