Domaine La Bastide Blanche
Contrechamps Bandol Blanc Clairette Ugni Blanc
Bandol, Provence, France
Domaine La Bastide Blanche Contrechamps Bandol Blanc 2017, France
Dark gold in color, showing it's age.
Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing citrus, apples, pears, light earth, spices, herbs and white pepper.
Nice length on the finish with lemons and light herbs.
This 8 year old white blend from Bandol is complex and interesting. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and nicely balanced.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years, and see how it evolved.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
A blend of 53% Clairette and 47% Ugni Blanc from 50 year old vines. Aged in egg concrete vats for 5 months on its lees. A tiny production of only 1,130 bottles.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
