La Bastide Blanche
Bandol Mourvedre Blend
Touch of brett that adds to complexity. Great value for a classic Bandol.

Jan 14th, 2019Dark red violet color with baked black fruit, graphite, licorice, spice and hints of roast meat aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, fresh, and expressive with a supple texture blackberry, black cherry, spice flavors and an appealing minerality. Long finish. 14.5 alcohol. Organic fruit. Mostly mourvedre with a bit of grenache and cinsault. 2012 Vintage

Apr 9th, 2016Big Ass wine! Hearty Mourvèdre needs time to open. Meaty, with notes of licorice and blackberry!
