La Bastide Blanche
Bandol Mourvedre Blend
Iodine, smoke, barnyard, and just plain funky. I feel like I would enjoy this more in 5+ years, but right now it is just too bretty for me.

Nov 28th, 2017Great value Bandol, just the thing to warm the soul on a chilly evening. Mostly Mourvèdre with Grenache in a supporting role. Dark, dusty and mineral, speaks of sun-soaked stony terroir with dried lavender and herbs. Pair with hearty food and friends.

1 person found it helpfulDec 17th, 2018Dark, brooding, almost fruitless. Deep and yet fresh.
Classic Bandol on the nose with leather, spices, garrigue, roast, dried mint and just barely a hint of dark, ripe, creamy blueberries & cassis.
On the palate this is supple, mid-weight, rich with pronounced yet so finely polished tannins. Juicy & fresh, poised and with great depth. A iron fist in a velvet glove.
Surprisingly accessible right after opening yet gains complexity & depth with time. A brilliant food wine! And great value, too!
Love it!!

Dec 30th, 2019A great wine from @Matt Waring. Tannins, dry, great dark fruity taste. Very different from what we are used to! Enjoyed with Blue Apron smoky guajillo beef bowls.

Mar 9th, 2018This may have been a bad bottle, not as good as I had remembered it. Rather flat and boring
