Rocher De La Garde

En Garde

Reserve Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2015

Love the perfume in the glass after you let it sit a bit. Very fruit forward but somewhat darker cherry than you would expect. Really love this Polinot! — 2 months ago

Chatons de garde Vin de Pays de l'Ardèche Syrah 2012

Great look on a slowly developing Ardeche Syrah. Some leather and a bit of pine forest floor, otherwise such an energetic and vital wine with lots of years ahead of it. — 7 months ago

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. — 4 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

Once had a Bandol that I thought was a bad buy. Though as nails. It openend up extremely beautiful. After twenty years. 🫣

It has softened and the cherry is less pronounced. Plum vanilla. Getting better! I will try again next year. — 8 months ago

Château Pradeaux

Cuvée Longue Garde Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2004

This was the Longue Garde cuvee. Better the second day, or just Garde it for Longue-er. Similar to the regular Bandol but with more heft and a pronounced topnote of cedar. — 5 months ago
