The wine region of Bandol
Provençal jewel between Cassis and Toulon, kingdom of Mourvèdre (50-95% in red). Signature powerful reds with notes of black blackberry, garrigue, pepper, leather, truffle and a balsamic touch, firm tannins and superb ageing (10-30 years) — French benchmark for the grape. Structured, gastronomic rosés (strawberry, citrus, spices) — not a simple aperitif rosé. Rare, mineral Clairette and Bourboulenc whites.
The wine region of Provence
World capital of dry, refined rosé (~90% of production). Pale rose-petal colour, delicate nose of fresh red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant), citrus (pink grapefruit), white flowers and a mineral touch, taut and thirst-quenching palate — the Mediterranean aperitif par excellence. Blends of Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Tibouren and Mourvèdre. Fleshy Bandol reds from Mourvèdre (leather, garrigue, age-worthy), straight Cassis whites.
The word of the wine: Balance
Harmony of the different organoleptic elements of a wine. The balance is linked to the typicity of each wine. The sweetness of a sweet wine is an element of its balance, whereas a Sancerre or a Chablis will be asked to be lively and dry.
