Bandol Rouge 2021, Chateau de Pibarnon Fortified citrus fruit and subtle spiceThis is a legendary Bandol Rouge from Chateau de Pibarnon, one of the region's pioneering producers that helped to establish Bandol's reputation with serious, serious wines of all colours. The red is made largely from Mourvedre, with a little Grenache and Cinsault in the mix too. It's powerful, spicy and intense and very much built to age.
