Welcome back! We are strapping on our favourite bathing suits and heading to the beach with a bottle of rose or a cooler of rosé, who am I kidding? Yep it's summer and we are going to talk about the Bandol today - so it's all things rosé.... and also don't forget about the very heavy tannic reds that they make here too, and whites. This episode is a deep dive on one of the best AOP's in Provence and what makes this wine special and delicious. Of course I used some fabulous resources to help me out: The Oxford Companion to Wine, 4th Edition by Jancis Robinson. 1001 Wines You Must Try Before You Die, by Neil Beckett https://thewineanalyst.org/bandol-history/http://www.maisondesvins-bandol.com/en/grape-varieties.cfmhttps://bandol.cz/?lang=enAnd I also talk about some great wines: Domaine du Tempier: https://www.domainetempier.com/en/homepage/Chateau Pibarnon: https://www.pibarnon.com/fr/If you spot something that needs correcting or you would like to request an episode you can reach out at [email protected] or check out the House Wine Instagram @housewinepodcast This podcast is 100% independent, it is written, narrated and produced by myself, Rachael so if you heard something you liked then scroll down and leave a comment or review, that is the best way that you can support the show. Until next week, I hope you drink something delicious! Music Credit:Too Cool by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-coolLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
