Domaine Le Galantin Bandol Rouge 2020

"Produced from 90% Mourvèdre and 10% old-vines Grenache, it is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for 22 months in 70 to 90 hectolitre foudres and demi-muids (one new and the rest 2 to 6 year old) before release, which makes this tasty giant more approachable in its youth. Céline is employing 20% whole cluster fermentation (80% destemmed) and pressing after 20 days.

Intense nose of ripe red fruits, black cherries, blueberries and licorice. Fruity freshness and assertive structure typical of Mourvèdre, along with toasty and peppery notes, and refined, silky tannins. Powerful and generous, a complex wine with a lingering finish. 2500 cases." -Importer notes
