Chateau Pradeaux 'Vespree' Rose, Vin de France 2021 Bodega Alto Moncayo with notes of pepper atA 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.

Future vintages will eschew the demi muid in favor of concrete eggs. 94 Pts Wine Advocate (2020
