Château Barthès - Bandol blanc 2015

Bandol|White wine

4.2/5 (13 customers)

2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

“While they’re very comfortable making rosé, the Barthès family also knows their way around white wine. Take this 2015 vintage, which is luminous in every sense of the word, made from Clairette (50%), Ugni Blanc (40%), and a hint of Rolle and Sauvignon. A Bandol appreciated for its intense and elegant fruitiness, its supple and mineral-driven attack, its perfectly balanced liveliness, and its remarkable length. A (very) indulgent pairing with seafood lies in store.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)
