Domaine de Terrebrune Bandol Rose 2025

Vigneron Reynald Delille, son of the original owner and founder, Georges, tirelessly pursues his quest for excellence. With 35 hectares of vines planted on terraces facing the Mediterranean Sea and organically farmed, the Domaine de Terrebrune produces wines whose identity and character are forged by this magical Triassic terroir and the king of Bandol grape varieties, Mourvèdre.

The star here is really the unique soil of the domaine. Beneath the layers of clay and earth, the blue, fissured, Trias limestone is silently at work. This bedrock lends a more noticeable minerality to the wine than others. The soil here is healthy and full of nutrients, because Reynald adheres to organic farming practices and plows regularly. It is clear that Domine de Terrebrune truly cherishes the earth, going so far as to name their estate after it (terre meaning soil and brune meaning brown). 

Reynald is never shy to point out the aging potential of his rosé, often pulling out twenty-year-old bottles in pristine condition to prove his point. The newly arrived 2025, made up of 60% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, is textured and invigorating, and whether uncorked young or old, Terrebrune’s rosé is certain to convey all the class of its distinctive Provençal terroir. 

Pairing: In its youth, drink alongside fresh seafood like scallop crudo, uni sashimi, or grilled sea bass. After aging, pair with richer dishes like roasted poultry, braised lamb stew, and dishes featuring garlic and saffron.
