"A poised Bandol with plums, dried thyme, tar, bark and black olives on the nose with hints of dried spices too. It’s full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Layered with a flavorful finish. Mourvedre, grenache and cinsault. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2025."
Wine Advocate, 91 Points
"Terrebrune's 2015 Bandol is a blend of 85% Mourvèdre, 10% Grenache and 5% Cinsault, aged 18 months in foudres. As it nears four years past the vintage, it's just beginning to be approachable. It showcases floral, tea-like and raspberry notes on the nose, adding currants and pomegranate on the medium to full-bodied palate and earthy notes on the long finish."
Winemaker Notes:
"Reynald Delille’s Bandol rouge is a different animal than most, more finesse than raw power. The domaine’s vineyards obviously play a part—situated on limestone bedrock and cooled by Mediterranean breezes—as does a strict organic regimen. The wine really starts to shine after a few years in bottle, when the earthy, savory, mineral elements begin to peek through the youthful fruit. We’re seeing that with the 2015 vintage, a special library release direct from the domaine’s cellars."
