The first vintage on the Place this year and the first Bandol property to be represented. Roses, lychee, peach, floral scented red cherries and strawberries too, a very nuanced and expressive nose. Full, plush and ripe on the palate, massy chewy tannins fill the mouth and provide a chalky base for the ripe fruit. This is carefully controlled though, nothing sticks out or is too much. Despite the concentration there is a nice delicacy to the overall feel. I like the herbal aspects, the floral ones, the minty liquorice touch and cola at the end. Easy drinking with nuance and style. (Drink between 2022-2034)
Aromas of mulberries, Mediterranean herbs, earth and baking spices. Medium- to- full-bodied with fine tannins. Structured with a fruity and creamy center-palate and a peppery finish. 85% mourvedre, 10% grenache and 5% cinsault. From organically grown grapes. Better after 2026.
