Cuvée Fontanéou Bandol Mourvedre Blend

A baby. One of the best wines for the money from Provence 🔥

Just entering its prime. Bastide Blanche is tremendously underrated

Robust inky wine garrigue spices leather nice structure strong in alcohol well balanced with acidity and dusty tannins

Brett bomb but enjoyable

Took a bit to open up- but it was classic! Dried herbs, butcher shop & a hint of garrigue.

In a great spot right now. Someone said that old Bandol tastes like old Bordeaux and that was certainly certainly true in this case. Lovely with years to go.

Really big bodied but lovely. Paired with pesto pasta, and it kinda worked.

A little bit of funkiness but still fine.

A big one. I didn’t pair it correctly as this need something rich and fatty. Really bold profile but excellent balance and elegance.

Nice nose with dark red with slight red as it is not nearly browning of the edges, medium to full body with some complexity and a fairly short aftertaste. I give it. 90. I noticed that Vivino says it is carignon, Grenache & Mourvèdre, which makes sense, as it is not nearly as full or as complex as the 1992 Horton Mourvèdre 89%/Syrah, which was surprising.
