ROSÉ : Mourvèdre 33 % ; Cinsault 33 % ; Grenache 33%
Salmon pink hue and fine yet distinct nose characterized by aromas of exotic fruits. Very rounded taste with a generosity
predominating over the acidity : a pleasant hint of CO2. To be drunk young, between 3 - 5 years old, at 12 to 14° C with
charcuterie, grilled seafood and summer salads.
Mourvèdre plays a lesser role in the rosé, where it accounts for about 30%, with 30% Cinsault and 40% Grenache being a typical composition.
The rosé is dominated by Cinsault, typically 60% with 20% each of Mourvèdre and Grenache,

As far as rosé wines are concerned, it seems that Grenache and Cinsault should dominate to combine smoothness and a fruity taste to a nice proportion of alcohol, while keeping its lightness.

For the rosé wines: - The proportion of the type of vine mourvèdre NR lies between 20 p. 100 (20%) and 95 p. 100 (95%) of encépagement. - The proportion of each additional type of vine cannot be higher than 10 p. 100 (10%) of encépagement. - The proportion of the whole of additional type of vines cannot be higher than 20 p. 100 (20%) of encépagement.
I believe “additional type of vine” only applies to “cépages accessories” and not “cépages principaux” (if I am correct the percentage of the other “principle grapes” can be higher than mourvedre). So technically a wine with this composition can be labeled a Bandol Rose AOC wine
4% Ugni Blanc
4% Syrah
4% Clairette
4% Carignan
4% Bourboulenc
20% Mourvedre
30% Cinsaut
30% Grenache
(Maybe I'm just translating this all wrong)
