Domaine La Suffrene Bandol 2019
Bandol, Provence, Sud de France, FranceBandol is always a powerful pour for pink, and this fresh 2019 is no exception. The 2019 is a blend of mourvèdre, grenache, cinsault, and carignan 10 from various plots on the communes of La Cadière-d’Azur and Le Castellet, all currently in conversion to organics. Pouring a mid-peach hue, this opens with a blast of stony fruitiness, with tangerine, mandarin, red currant, on a savoury stony base. Bone dry, this has a stern backbone of crunchy acidity punching this to a snappy, spiced orange finish. Punchy and forward, this is built for food.Tasted: 24 May 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $33.99 | 750ml | BCLS in June |
