Chateau Pradeaux Bandol Rose 2025 Loire Valley and its sappy core ofThe iconic Bandol Ros from Chteau Pradeaux is a cornerstone of our portfolio, comprising 65% Mourvdre (down slightly in 2024 from its usual 70%), 32% Cinsault, and 3% Grenache, from vines up to 80 years old. Fermented spontaneously and aged on its fine lees almost exclusively in 100 hectoliter cement tanks, it is both structured and fine, with spice laden fruit and a depth which very few ross attaineven in this hallowed appellation.
