The vintage shows through. The ripeness pushes toward baked in the fruit character somewhat, but its pliant nature make it approachable now. Roasted cherry and baked plum, dusty leather, reduction (oxtail), cured game, white pepper, tar, fur. Love some young Migoua 😸 — 4 years ago
Purplish in color with a reddish rim.
Nice nose and medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing raspberries, red cherries, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Single Vineyard Mourvedre from Bandol is rich and fruit forward. Elegant and easy drinking.
Already delicious, although still very young, and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.
Nicely balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will pair nicely with food too.
A blend of 85% Mourvèdre, with Grenache and Cinsault. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Decanted for 7h.
Nice aromatics of spices & leather. As expected, fruitless. Brilliant purity here with freshness & precision
Pure, austere & linear on the palate. With a firm tannic frame and brilliant, juicy acidity. Love the precision and the (firm) frame.
The complete opposite of plum & plush Languedoc or Rhone, but so nice.
Not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love Bandol! — a month ago
From a magnum. Half decanted and half not. Didn’t really make a difference. More French than CA. Rustic nose with hints of burning wood and manure. Modest cherry fruit on the palate with cedar and earth. Medium depth and finish. Age really showed through. Not the wine I was expecting at all, but was nice. Somewhat similar to Domaine Tempier Bandol. — 3 years ago

The colour is a surprisingly a youthful deep Ruby with purple tinges considering its 17 years of age. Dusty plum and herbal aromas. Ultra savoury on the medium bodied palate. An excellent example of perhaps the best terroir for Mourvèdre - Provence. Jancis’s drinking window was 2010 to 2020 which proves yet again how drinking windows are an inexact science considering that this wine was still kicking goals in 2025. — 4 days ago
