La Migoua Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2017

Opened about an hour in advance of dinner and enjoyed over the course of several hours alongside the 2019 La Tourtine and 2020 Lulu & Lucien. No formal notes. The 2017 La Migoua is a veritable bank vault. The darkest of fruits and a mountain of structure. Like every other La Migoua I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing, this requires decades of time to uncoil. Keep this is the deepest, darkest part of your cellar for years to come. To my palate, I would probably hold until 2032 and then enjoy through 2057. — 6 days ago

Bandol Mourvedre - Cinsault Rosé Blend 2024

Dark copper in color. A beautiful color.

Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing raspberries, cherries, citrus, apples, spices, light earth and herbs.

Nice finish with lemons and light almonds.

This tasty Rosé from Bandol is still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

Already drinking very nicely, and will continue to get better in the next 10 years. I had the 2023 vintage recently, and it is already drinking better now.

Rich and well structured. Nicely balanced and easy drinking.

A nice sipping wine, good by itself or with food.

A blend of 70% Mourvedre, 25% Cinsault and 5% Grenache.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$35.

Wow, wat een score!

Domaine Tempier

Bandol Rosé Blend

Salmon color with copper reflexes. Nose of grapefruit, and Mandarin peel, lemon juice, pink flowers, and petrichor. Faint Aperol on the back. Palate is explosive but not effusive. More grapefruit oil, lemon pith, garrigue, waves of saline minerality and a bright acidity that makes it go on and on. Pretty serious argument on why it deserves its reputation is the best rosé in the world  — 2 months ago

It’s been many years since I’ve had any Musar wines, I have very fond memories drinking them in the 1980s when we lived in NYC and they were pretty easy to find at retail!!

@Anthony De Blasi, BTW, do you know what the cepage is in this wine?

@Doug Powers indeed, it’s a great winery with iconic wines. The cepage is Cab Sauv, Cinsault and Carignan. I still have the 2011 in magnum for my daughter her birthyear 🤩
