Cuvée La Tourtine Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2022

Purplish in color with a reddish rim.

Nice nose and medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing raspberries, red cherries, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This Single Vineyard Mourvedre from Bandol is rich and fruit forward. Elegant and easy drinking.

Already delicious, although still very young, and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.

Nicely balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 85% Mourvèdre, with Grenache and Cinsault. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$100.

Dark copper in color with a golden hue.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing cherries, sweet strawberries, apples, currants, herbs, earth and light vegetables.

Nice finish with impressive length.

This is a delicious Rosé from Bandol. Fruit forward and nicely balanced. Complex, easy drinking and interesting.

A great sipping wine. Really fun to drink, and what a great color.

Very approachable right now and drinking much better than their 'Vespree' Rosé.

Wine Spectator 91 points.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.

Good by itself or with food.

Cuvée Spéciale La Migoua Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2008

The colour is a surprisingly a youthful deep Ruby with purple tinges considering its 17 years of age. Dusty plum and herbal aromas. Ultra savoury on the medium bodied palate. An excellent example of perhaps the best terroir for Mourvèdre in Provence. Jancis’s drinking window was 2010 to 2020 which proves yet again how drinking windows are an inexact science considering that this wine was still kicking goals in 2025. — a day ago

@Bob McDonald I find the drinking windows provided by JR are very conservative.

I think they are conservative with a reason. They don’t want negative feedback if they predict windows beyond the quality of a persons storage. Many/most people do not have ideal or perfect storage.
