Mourvedre

Château de Pibarnon (Comte de Saint Victor)

Bandol Rosé Blend 2022

Light orange in color.

Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing raspberries, strawberries, currants, lemons, peaches, spices, sea salt and light earth.

Tangy finish with grapefruits and limes.

This is a young Rosé from Bandol. Spicy and fruit forward. Elegant with a soft mouthfeel.

Nicely balanced and already showing nice complexity.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Good right out of the bottle and good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 70% Mourvedre and 30% Cinsault from 45 year old vines.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$40.

Heart Stone Vineyard Syrah Blend

Phenomenal balance Syrah character dominates, lush perfume and rich dark fruit. Crushed after a 30 min decant, could have used a lil more development time but too delicious to complain about how it was consumed — 5 years ago

Esprit de Tablas Mourvedre Blend 2011

Just at the point where it’s about to turn from primary to secondary. Fruit still ripe, but now well integrated and the tannins have mostly resolved. Present acidity carries through the mid palate and fresh finish. — 7 years ago

Domaine Tempier

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 - 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. — 7 months 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.
