Details
An indicative blend of Mourvedre and Cinsault. This rosé dons a touch of mint and lovely ripe red and black fruit on the nose with a flash of pink peppercorn spice.
Perched in the idyllic hills of Bandol, Domaine les Luquettes embodies the rugged charm of Provence with a touch of elegance. Here, the sunshine-soaked terraces are dedicated to Mourvèdre, the king of Bandol’s reds, along with a touch of Grenache and Cinsault, creating wines that seem to capture the very essence of the Mediterranean. The reds are bold yet nuanced, brimming with rich black fruit, aromatic herbs, and a hint of wild spice that lingers like a warm Provençal breeze. Meanwhile, Domaine les Luquettes’ rosé is an absolute delight — pale, dry, and loaded with notes of fresh peach and subtle sea-salt minerality. Their secret? A mix of traditional practices and careful organic farming, allows the vines to speak for themselves while respecting the land they grow on. The result? Wines with real personality, from the crispness of the rosé to the deep, earthy complexity of their reds. Domaine les Luquettes is a true Bandol classic, balancing tradition with a vibrant energy, making each sip a pleasure.

Pairing guide
Sourced from one of the top vineyards in the Bandol region of Provence, this beautiful rosé wine is an absolute treat for the senses, capturing the very essence of southern French sophistication. Gorgeously versatile with a wide array of delicious dishes, it is perhaps best served with delicate white fish, various seafood, and traditional recipes involving mussels, clams, and lobster. This wine will also match elegantly with chicken salads and chicken breast with garlic and herbs, and will also pair very well with salty ingredients such as feta, olives, and anchovies.
