Bandol has long been known as the leading region for Rosé in France, located in the heart of Provence. This is a versatile rosé that could be drunk over dinner or simply by the pool with some fruit salad. There is a lovely balance of sweet raspberry, dried thyme and creaminess.
The French wine scene can be somewhat of a minefield at times, all we really want is a supplier that makes wines from all across the country while still displaying regional and sub-regional typicity.. Simple right?!? Well, enter Maison Johanès Boubée which is a winery that has succeeded in the French landscape, while relatively unknown outside its borders. The winery has access to all the goodies around the country and aside from an impressive winemaking team, it also has employed sommeliers to taste each wine to confirm it meets that all important terroir feel of each region. The winery is a nod to the old-school way, where you didn’t need to boast a fancy label to sell a bottle of wine and the juice inside is the most important part. We have tasted through a large range of their wines and are very impressed with the overall quality in each bottle. The La Cave D'Augustin Florent range represents the focus on single regions, whether it be Cahors, Burgundy, Jurançon or Minervois, there will be something for everyone.

Pairing guide
This is a classic Provence rosé, that is certainly holding up the repuation of the region. It’s got plenty of substance to go with its style too, and will offer amazing food pairing possibilities when matched up with chicken breast or thigh dishes, turkey salads, grilled prawns and all kinds of tomato or buttery pasta dishes. Barbecued sausages, charcuterie dishes and meatier fish like barramundi and tuna will also tick all the right boxes.
