The 2020 Mourvèdre is another super-classic Andremily wine in this vintage. Blackberry jam, cloves, menthol, licorice and sweet oak are all amplified in this potent Mourvèdre. There's a ton of textural intensity, but varietal character is a bit in the background in this warm year. The 2020 will drink well pretty much on release. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2023)

November’s 4th Friday was a big hit. There is no way I’ll be able to upload all the wines, nor give them the reviews they deserve, but there were a few worthy of mentioning!
The best Mourvèdre I’ve ever had. Spell binding stuff. Seductive like aromatics of sweet and gummy blue and black fruits wrapped in clove and sandalwood. Lighter on the palate than Andremily’s Syrah. Crunchy blueberries, puréed blackberries, sweet smoke, baking spices and graphite. Can only imagine how good this will be in a few years. Thanks @Keith Fisher

I’ve had Andremily a couple of times prior but never the Mourvèdre (86% blended with syrah and viognier). It is a big concentrated full bodied wine. Nicely polished. Black fruits, melted liquorice, crushed rock, espresso with some high toned notes of lavender, mint and anise. It became more delicate on day two. Still young but approachable.

Interesting, and maybe one of my first Mourvedres. Different for me, and not my favorite grape, but I can appreciate the winemaking here. Big ripe black and blue fruit, meaty, earthy, but smoky, chewy. Big bold wine. Long finish.
