Description

A classic Bandol red that’s Mourvèdre‑driven with Carignan, Grenache and Cinsault - powerful, earthy, spicy and wonderfully food‑friendly.

A complex nose with blackberry, earth and sage to name just a few. On the palate, it is silky smooth with elegant, rounded tannins and a lengthy finish. There has been some oak influence and there is a detectable hint of cinnamon.

At it's best with 3 - 8 years of bottle age, this wine benefits from a 60 - 90minute decant to open up and show the full range of aromas and flavours.

The Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, is ideal for viticulture. Provence rosés, made from grape varieties such as Grenache, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre, are renowned for their pale colour, crisp acidity, and delicate flavours of red berries and citrus. The area also produces robust reds and aromatic whites. Provence’s diverse terroir, combined with traditional winemaking techniques, results in wines that reflect the beauty and richness of the region. It is a must-visit for wine enthusiasts seeking elegant and refreshing wines.
