DESCRIPTION

This Bandol Rouge from Domaine Fontbrune highlights the depth and character associated with this renowned Provençal appellation. Built around the structure of Mourvèdre, it delivers dark fruit intensity and a robust, savory profile, balanced by a touch of Mediterranean warmth. Firm yet refined, it offers both immediate pleasure and excellent potential to develop added complexity over time.

EYE

Deep, intense ruby color with darker highlights, indicating concentration and aging potential.

NOSE

Aromas of blackberries and dark cherries supported by hints of spice, garrigue herbs, and a subtle earthy note that adds depth.

MOUTH

Full-bodied with firm yet polished tannins. Dark fruit flavors are enriched by savory undertones, leading to a long, persistent finish that reflects both power and balance.

PAIRING

A natural match for roasted lamb, beef stews, grilled meats, or flavorful Mediterranean cuisine. Its structure and complexity make it ideal for hearty dishes and aged cheeses.

Domaine Fontbrune

Provence

Provence is the oldest wine producing region of France with a perfect sunny, dry and warm Mediteranean climate cooled down by the frequent Mistral wind. The Greeks were the first to plant grapevines in Provence more than 2,000 year ago and were already known for making rosé wines(!) The region has also a long history of blending grape varieties for their winemaking, such as Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Cabernet-Sauvignon, Carignan, Bourboulenc and Mourvedre to name a few. Today, rosé accounts for more than 80% of Provence wine production, it gained in the past 10-15 years the reputation for being among the best Rosés produced in the world, showcasing refreshing minerality, refined floral aromas with fruity and citrussy flavors. These wines are best to enjoy chilled during the hottest months of the year, at summer parties, with a barbecue, with seafood or just with refreshing salads. Some people drink them also year around.
