Domaine La Suffrene Bandol Rosé

Profile & Story

Domaine La Suffrene is a family estate in La Cadiere-d'Azur, at the heart of the Bandol appellation in Provence, farming clay-limestone vineyards cooled by nearby sea breezes and following agroforestry practices to protect biodiversity. As required in Bandol, the grapes are hand-harvested and pressed immediately on arrival at the winery; after racking, the wine is aged on fine lees for added finesse, with malolactic fermentation blocked to preserve freshness. The Tradition Rose blends Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsault, and Carignan.

Pairing Recommendation

Wonderful as a casual aperitif, alongside a family barbecue of grilled chicken, or with a Provencal vegetable tian, and pairs nicely with a seasonal fruit salad for those with a sweet tooth.
