La Migoua Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2022

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red fruits on the nose with light oak and red candy notes.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with red and black fruits, light wood, chocolates, tobacco leaf, earth and dark coffee.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious red blend from Bandol. Fruit forward, and still very young. However, it is very approachable right now. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

This Single Vineyard Mourvèdre based blend is very interesting. Well balanced and complex with a nice mouthfeel. A good quality wine.

A tasty sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 50% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache, 26% Cinsault and 4% Syrah. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$100.

Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2012

Bought a case at the property in 2015 I think. This bottle, number 11, was probably the best one yet. When to open the last one?!? — a month ago

@Chris MacLean, I hope to open the wines I described in the next month, of course @Dave will be bummed since they’re newer than 1990 vintage!! 🤷

La Bastide Blanche

Bandol Mourvèdre Blend Rosé 2021

Really floral on the nose- rose bushes? Maybe some saltiness too. Minerality on the palate but also cherries, floral, a bit more savory than fruity. Some acidity and medium body. — 13 days ago

Cuvée La Tourtine Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2019

Opened about an hour in advance of dinner and enjoyed over the course of several hours alongside the 2017 La Migoua and 2020 Lulu & Lucien. No formal notes. The 2019 La Tourtine is phenomenal. Surprisingly more open than expected but still showing its youth with everything still primary. On this night, to my palate, it was far and away the most impressive of the three. It had a streak of dried herbs and smoked meat that was really attractive. Structure for dayzzzz. Baller stuff with traditional cassoulet. Drink now with patience through 2044. — a month ago

Château Simone

Palette Grand Cru de Provence White Rhone Blend 2016

Always so refined, with a beautiful amber color and bold nose of crunchy, ripe yellow fruit. Nose has notes of lemongrass, fennel and lemon rind, and like, moth balls, or something that reminds one of grandma’s house potpourri. Medium to full bodied, with a bold mouthfeel, notes of overripe opal apple, golden fig, latex, hints of pineapple and amber, and a loooong finish that sizzles with energy long after the sip is finished. — 25 days ago

Cibonne

Cuvée Spéciale Côtes de Provence Tibouren
