Domaine de la Ribotte
Bandol, France
The Domaine de la Ribotte is a family affair. Maurice Desblache’s grandfather bought the domaine which is now run by Maurice’s wife Laurence, the first female winemaker in Bandol, and their son Nicolas.
I came across their rosé while judging gold medal winners at the Decanter World Wine Awards. When we traced the family we were surprised to...

Domaine de la Ribotte, Bandol Rose, Cuvee Anais, 2023
Bandol, a small appellation on the coast east of Marseilles and west of Toulon, produces wonderful and distinctive rosés, based on the Mourvèdre grape which thrives in the sunshine and clay soils. Amazing aromas of peach juice and pink grapefruit leap out of the glass; followed by delectable intensity of peach melba and cream. Really well-textured, with a characteristic long and mineral, even saline, finish. Now-2026
“This gorgeous coppery pink rosé manages to be both fun and serious. It smells of grapefruit peel and tastes of tomato vine, grapefruit pith and pip, yellow tomatoes and sumac. It’s tangy and just chewy enough to tug you back, again and again. Wet dusty rocks on the finish. Long, dry and interesting. This will likely age and is definitely fantastic with food. 16.5+/20”, Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com, 28th May 2024
Bandol, a small appellation on the coast east of Marseilles and west of Toulon, produces the finest rosés in the world, based on the Mourvèdre grape which thrives on the sunshine and clay soils. It's a historic wine - the Count of Monte Cristo in Alexandre Dumas' great revenge novel of 1844 liked his glass of Bandol rosé "bien frais"! This is the eighth vintage we have shipped of this example made by Laurence Desblaches, the first female winemaker in Bandol, and her son Nicolas.
Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.Read More
