Why we recommend it
This is a serious Bandol rosé with real structure and depth, built for the table rather than just aperitif drinking.
Best for: Long lunches, seafood-focused dinners, or when you want a rosé that drinks like a proper wine.
Drink it with: Bouillabaisse, grilled prawns, roast chicken, or Mediterranean vegetable dishes.
Based on Mourvèdre from mature vineyards in the cooler parts of Bandol, this rosé offers texture, persistence and savoury complexity alongside fresh stone fruit and citrus tones. It suits drinkers who find most rosé too light and are looking for something more grounded and food-driven. Balanced, confident and unmistakably Bandol in style.

Producer: Domaine du Gros 'Noré
Owner Alain Pascal has 17 ha of vines in the prime sector of Cadiere d’Azur. The first official vintage released was 1997. Prior to this, Alain’s father, Honoré (his name is shortened to ‘Noré to give the name of the Domaine as Gros ‘Noré = Fat Honoré) worked the vineyards but never made his own wine. Instead he sold the grapes to another leading Bandol producer at that time, Chateau de Pibarnon. These beautifully sited vineyards have an average age of 30 years with some located in the highest coolest part of Bandol.
Bandol is regarded as the First Growth of Provence producing the most serious, and well known, wines of Provence. The Mourvèdre grape variety is the basis of great Bandol with appellation laws requiring a minimum of 50 % for the red wines (though many use up to 100 % for some cuvees). As well as Mourvèdre (80 %), the Gros' Noré red also has a dash of Grenache (15 %), and old vine Cinsault (5 %).
