It’s not summer without a delicious bottle of Rosé, and we offer only the best ones! Rather than offer countless pink wines, we keep our offerings to a minimum as we are very selective in choosing which Rosés become part of our inventory.

We love the Rosés from Domaine La Suffrene, a family owned domaine and one of the leading producers in Bandol. Bandol is a very small appellation of Provence, France and is known for its great terroir and for producing Rosés that have the ability to age. Bandol is one of the oldest protected designations of origin in France (recognized in 1941). At Domaine La Suffrene, grapes are harvested by hand, go through a rigorous selection process, and yields are low. For over 100 years, the vines have been in the family.

Calling all Rosé fans! The new vintage of Clos Beylesse Rosé Cotes de Provence is here, and it’s always one of the very first Rosés to sell out!

Clos Beylesse Rosé Cotes de Provence is a crown jewel when it comes to Rosé, and we’re always a fan of the consistently amazing quality coming from this producer.

It’s that time of year - rosé season! We're excited to bring you one of the most highly sought-after and difficult to find rosés on the market - 2021 Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé! Scoring 93 points from RP, this pink wine is a gem that we know you’ll love.

Domaine Tempier is recognized as one of the top rosé producers in the world. Robert Parker even said, "Always one of my favorite estates, Domaine Tempier's Bandol Rosé remains one of the world's reference points for how much flavor and character can be built into a rosé wine."

Founded in 1834, Domaine Tempier was a working farm with vineyards of Mourvèdre, but when Lucien Peyraud married Lucie ‘Lulu’ Tempier in 1936, the mythic winery truly began.

The focus on Mourvèdre is what separates Bandol form the rest of Provence, especially when discussing rosé. It has the juiciness and freshness to drink nicely on its own or at the start of a meal, as well as the complexity
