“A tribute to Pagnol and the bartavelles from *La Gloire de mon Père* (the largest species of partridge), this Bandol is also an ode to Mourvèdre, sourced here from 50-year-old vines rooted in clay soils. Candied blueberry, cocoa nibs, spicy notes (saffron, vanilla), and woody tones blend elegantly in the bouquet, then return with intensity on a dense, rich, ripe, and distinctly characterful palate, wrapped in fine, sap-like tannins that accompany a savory finish tinged with Havana and star anise. Absolutely captivating and with excellent aging potential, it is already radiant.” (Le Guide Hachette 2024) Allow it to breathe beforehand to dispel the reduction typical of Mourvèdre.

About the wine:

A tribute to Pagnol and the bartavelles from *The Glory of My Father* (the largest species of partridge), this Bandol is also an ode to Mourvèdre, sourced here from 50-year-old vines rooted in clay soils. Candied blueberry, cocoa nibs, and spicy (saffron, vanilla) and woody notes blend elegantly in the bouquet, then return with intensity on a dense, rich, ripe, and distinctive palate, framed by fine, sap-like tannins that accompany a savory finish tinged with Havana and star anise. Absolutely captivating and with excellent aging potential, it is already radiant.

Guilhem Tournier established his vineyard in 2004: 6.5 hectares located at the foot of the medieval village of La Cadière-d'Azur and cultivated organically. He also took over his parents' family estate, Dom. Roche Redonne. A total of 12 hectares.

Review by Mr. FABIEN L. Published on July 25, 2026

Tasted in 2026, it’s still far from its peak. I imagine it will be incredible between 2025 and 2040. It’s already excellent and will only get better. It’s not cheap, but considering how it will age in a few years, it’s a very good investment.
