"A tribute to Pagnol and the bartavelles of La Gloire de mon père (the largest species of partridge), this Bandol is also an ode to Mourvèdre, here from 50-year-old vines rooted in clay soils. Candied blueberry, cocoa bean, spicy (saffron, vanilla) and woody notes mingle elegantly on the bouquet, then return insistently in a dense, rich, ripe and well-typed palate, sheathed by fine, sappy tannins that accompany a savory finish tinged with Havana and star anise. Absolutely seductive, with excellent cellaring potential, it's already radiant". (Le Guide Hachette 2024) To be aired beforehand to dissipate the reduction typical of Mourvèdre.
