Domaine Galantin - Bandol Rouge 2020
Price: $29.99
Sale Price: $24.99
“The secret of Bandol reds is the perfect marriage of the Mourvedre grape, which combines a Cabernet-like elegance with a rustic charm, the warm Mediterranean sun, and low yields from poor, rocky soil. The result is long-lived (ten years at a minimum) wines of unrivaled grip and intensity. Mourvèdre’s magic is that, in the right hands, it’s serious enough to accompany a divine leg of lamb cooked over old vine stumps, yet so friendly and relaxed it works at a summer lunch of cheese, olives and charcuterie on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. Shoes optional.” Nick Passmore, Forbes
Despite its magic, we don’t sell a lot of Bandol… it’s a very small region and the wines can take ages to become approachable. But I knew I had to grab some of this when I drank a bottle over the summer. It is ready to go now! And will age another 10 years. At the price point, you can afford to do both and everywhere in between!

"Ripe, red fruit compote, sweet strawberry, cherry and smoky, berry aromas. A creamy, silky acidity and a slightly salty rich fruit umami character. The tannins are supple, silky, and well integrated with the acidity carrying the length. A lick of cigar smoke and a lovely, sweet finish. Generous now." - Elizabeth Gabay MW
