Country/State: France
Region: Provence
Varietal: Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsault
The 2011 Bandol comes from 30-year-old vines and is a blend of 80% Mourvedre, 15% Grenache and 5% Cinsault. Aged 18 months in foudre (large cask), it’s a dense, concentrated 2011 that offers notions of black cherry, blackberry, earth and ground herbs on the nose. This flows to a full bodied, gorgeously put together palate that has considerable structure, superb purity of fruit and a knock out finish.
