"Although this is labeled as Vin de France, its fruit comes from the La Bégude estate in Bandol. With one year's aging, it is full, soft and ripe with generous strawberry flavors. Dark in color, it may not follow the trend in Provence for pale rosés and its taste is rich and full bodied. The acidity at the end gives the necessary freshness."

"Light reddish pink. With coaxing aromas of red cinammon, thyme, and ripe watermelon, L’Irréductible offers more of the same on a richly flavored palate accompanied by bright framing acidity and a lingering finish. A blend of 95% Mourvedre and 5% Grenache."

"Deeper in color and slightly richer, with lots of Bing cherry, wild strawberry and flowers, the 2015 Bandol Rose Irreductible is a rich, textured, layered Rosé that will stand up to tapa or any heartier starters. It has beautiful acidity and will drink nicely for a year or more. - Jeb Dunnuck"

Go To Begude Bandol Rose L'Irreductible
"Darker in color than most Provence rosés, this impressive wine is made almost entirely of Mourvèdre. With a rich, full character, it is generous and ripe. Sweet strawberry fruits are right up front, balanced with a touch of citrus and freshly ground pepper. The aftertaste is tight and spicy."

"Deeper ruby colored (it’s almost Tavel-like), the 2017 Bandol L’lrreductible Rosé offers more cherry blossom, flowers, and crushed rock notes and displays medium body, bright acidity, and terrific purity. Made from 95% Mourvèdre and 5% Grenache, it’s another outstanding rosé from this estate that’s going to shine on the dinner table."

"This wine is made from organically grown fruit. Dominated by 95% Mourvèdre, it is an enticing, spicy wine, full of red fruits, light tannins and with the herbal edge typical of the grape. It needs a few more months, so wait until 2019. - Roger Voss"
