Bastide de la Ciselette leans lighter and fresher in their expression of Bandol Rouge. Soft, caressing tannins find length in a wine that tastes of brambly black fruits, licorice, and resinous rosemary. While deceptively approachable for a young wine from this corner of Provence, hints of vanillin on the finish indicate it has yet to fully come into its own. 80% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache.
