Château Jean-Pierre Gaussen

Longue Garde Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2010

Star of a two Bandol night, but this at age 14( minus a week or two). Deeper, plush, black violet & cassis nose; on palate tannins really nicely integrated, wild blackberries, more cassis & black currants. Crazy elegant and generous. Feels open. Distant notes of some kind of bark & forest floor. Older wild flowers.Eye opener, in sense of how far Bandol can go for me. — 5 months ago

Happy for Bandol-heads to emerge out of the shadows…this was a significant wine for me, very surprising- perhaps because my previous experiences were with Bandols that were still closed or too tight (Tempier, for example) @Tom Casagrande
