Domaine la Suffrene Bandol Rouge 2017

This is a classic Bandol Rouge based on beautifully ripe, thick-skinned Mourvèdre that delivers blackberry and herb aromas with accents of vanilla, leather, and herbs. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it retains its natural brightness, plus a rich, full-bodied palate, firm tannins, and a long finish. Ripe blackberry and herb aromas are followed by notes of vanilla, leather and wild herbs. The palate is full, with firm, juicy tannins and a long finish, full of ripe rich flavour.

  • Climate:The climate in Bandol is nearly perfect for viticulture, especially for the mourvèdre grape. Bandol is the sunniest place in Provence, with various mountains blocking incoming clouds. Just enough rain falls normally for plants to be healthy. Winds keep vineyards fresh and healthy, so there is very little disease worry. In the summer, ocean breezes attenuate heat, allowing for slow, even ripening.
