Pale, bright-hued orange. Displays an impressive array of citrus and pit fruit, red berry, floral and succulent herb qualities on the mineral-driven nose. Offers palate-staining strawberry, pomegranate, blood orange, white peach and honeysuckle flavors that are at once concentrated and lively. Deftly plays richness off of elegance and pick up a spicy nuance as it opens up. Hangs on with remarkable tenacity, echoing the floral and pit fruit notes. I wish that people, many of whom I suspect have never even tried them, could look past the fact that while the wines made by this impeccably run, no-expense-spared domaine have a reputation for being the rosés of choice in swanky summer locales, they’re the real deal. That’s not just in the pink wine category. Even if this one is relatively expensive for the Bandol category it’s actually a compelling value as world-class wines go.

The dominance of Bandol's own Mourvèdre grape has given this wine density and structure as well as plenty of red fruits and a texture that will allow it to age. Drink the wine from late 2020.

A wild Provençal nose here combining garrigue, almost herbal aromas, with white flowers and sweet nectarine. On the palate there is succulent cherry juice, reminds me of a cherry drop sweet, with elements of apricot and peach. It's rounded and has structure from the dominance of Mouvedre in the blend with a soft creaminess coming in from the Cinsault. It is mouthwatering with a bright and long-lasting crystal clean finish.

The 2019 Bandol Chateau Romassan Rose is a rocking Bandol rosé with a racy, vibrant, yet also rich and concentrated style. A blend of 60% Mourvèdre, 25% Cinsault, and 15% Grenache, it offers a gorgeous bouquet of white peach and orange blossom as well as loads of salinity, medium-bodied richness, a layered, concentrated mid-palate, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and I'm sure will drink nicely for a solid 6-12 months.

A blend of 60% Mourvèdre, 25% Cinsault and 15% Grenache, the 2019 Bandol Rose Chateau Romassan boasts flowing, elegant aromas of crushed stone, wild strawberries, raspberries, melon and ripe citrus. It's medium to full-bodied, delivering plenty of flavor intensity on the silky palate, then gradually fading on the long finish.

Wine Spectator
A refined rosé that offers delicately packaged complexity, with orange zest, grapefruit and melon notes infused with wet stone, white pepper and rosemary details, all backed by energetic, integrated acidity. Lingering finish. Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Grenache. Drink now through 2021. 5,908 cases imported.
Winery Notes
The distinguished elegance, fullness and lovely taut character of the Château Romassan Rosé are the result of meticulous vine tending and winemaking. Each plot is worked in accordance with its intrinsic qualities but the vines all grow in typical Bandol terroirs: arid soil (limestone, sandstone and sandy marl) and exceptionally dry, sunny weather.
These characteristics ensure that Mourvèdre, the major grape in this blend, fulfils its potential and provides solidity, structure and a great capacity for ageing. It is complemented by the full-bodied texture of Grenache, the softness of Cinsault and, for its small contribution, the fruity roundness of Syrah.
Its pale, ethereal pink colour tinted with gold or orange, releases a bouquet of citrus fruits and white orchard flowers. On the palate, the immediate effect is lively and bright, revealing notes of pink grapefruit, fleshy fruit and, once the wine has had a chance to breathe, hints of fruit tart. The finish is complex and lasting.
