Chateau Pradeaux 'Vespree' Rose, Vin de France 2021 Rare White Blend Long and intense

Long and intense

Would paire wonderfully with dark chocolate and berries

Medium- to full-bodied with very fine tannins that are totally integrated with finesse and beauty at the end

This deep-ruby colored wine has aromas of blackberry

the 2020 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir saw quite a bit more stems and was fermented with 40% stems and brought up in 20% new oak

Chateau Pradeaux 'Vespree' Rose, Vin de France 2021 Rare White Blend Long and intenseA blend of 95% Mourvdre and 5% Cinsault that spent a year on the lees in a demi muid and concrete egg, Pradeaux's 2020 Bandol Ros Vespree is a special effort. Loaded with cherry fruit, it's even richer and rounder than the regular bottling, yet it retains a wonderful sense of freshness to balance the lush, almost creamy mouthfeel and lingering finish. Future vintages will eschew the demi muid in favor of concrete eggs. 94 Pts Wine Advocate (2020
