Domaine de Marotte Cuvée Jules

Our rosé – the Cuvée Jules – is very special for our region. We make this wine mainly from Mourvèdre – a grape variety that is common in the Bandol – and Cinsault. In the smell you recognize aromas of red fruit such as strawberry and raspberry but also some vanilla and laurel. The taste fits in seamlessly with the same impressions. Furthermore, the Cuvée Jules is full and lively and it has a long aftertaste. Moreover, this rosé – unlike most rosés – can easily be kept for 2 to 3 years.
