Domaine De La Begude Bandol Rouge 2021

This is a Bandol red from Provence, led by Mourvedre grown on high altitude limestone and clay terraces overlooking the Mediterranean. The estate sits at one of the highest points in the appellation, where cooling breezes slow ripening and build structure. Long maceration and extended oak ageing shape a wine with depth, balance and ageing potential. The vineyards are organically farmed, with careful parcel selection and manual harvesting ensuring precision. Ageing in large French oak vessels integrates tannins while preserving the wines Mediterranean identity.

• The nose shows blackcurrant, blackberry and violet with hints of mint and wild herbs.
• The palate delivers dark fruit, plum and spice with firm tannins and layered structure.
• The finish is long and savoury with garrigue, pepper and a persistent mineral edge.

Roast lamb with garlic, rosemary and olives complements the wine’s structure and herbal character while softening tannins through fat.
