With cheese
Poivre d'âne
Our pick A Bandol rosé, led by Mourvèdre, has a savoury edge of herbs or white pepper that echoes the cheese's dried-herb coat, and its high acidity and medium body suit the fine, tight paste better than a lighter rosé.
Cachat
Our pick Cachat is a salty, peppery, garlicky paste with a long finish, so it needs acidity more than tannin. A Bandol rosé has high acidity, a savoury, saline finish and low tannin, so nothing turns bitter against the cheese.
History
Romassan Bandol Rose has been bottled in Ott's signature amphora-shaped bottle since the Marcel Ott family acquired the estate in 1956. The cuvee remains a structured, oak-fermented Bandol rose with a long international wine-list footprint.
