The tasting |
|
|
Intense red with violet highlights, brilliant. |
|
| | |
|
A nose marked by Mourvèdre with very Mediterranean aromas of rosemary and macerated black fruit. |
|
| | |
|
The juice is full and juicy, with refined, fine and abundant tannins. The whole is very seductive, with a refreshing finish. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
Producing on a small scale but with high quality, Agnès Hocquard-Henry creates Bandol wines with a strong personality, marked by their rare finesse and flexibility, which age harmoniously with a delicate profile and avoid any over-maturation.
Her Mourvèdre grapes reach their pinnacle, benefiting from coastal terroirs—primarily limestone and sandy soils, some of the earliest ripening in Bandol—to draw the necessary energy and freshness.
With a 2-star rating from RVF, this now-cult winery excels across all three wine colors, showcasing the sincerity of pure fruit, voluptuousness, and natural elegance, all achieved with an impressive mastery of extraction and aging processes. |

A favorite of the selection committee, the 2021 red Bandol is a magnificent wine built for long aging. From the moment it is opened, it enchants with all the scents of the south, featuring a distinctly Mediterranean aromatic profile with notes of rosemary essence, macerated black fruits, and particularly a lot of freshness. The palate is full and juicy, with exceptionally well-integrated aging, and the refined, fine, and plentiful tannins create a very appealing ensemble with a refreshing finish. Kudos for the balance and flavorfulness! Rated 94-95/100 by the committee! |
