Chateau Pradeaux Bandol, Provence, France 2019 Vermouth immediately after releaseThe Bandol from Pradeaux is a creature whose soul emerges from Mourvdre. One of the hallmarks of Pradeaux is that the grapes are never destemmed. The result is a wine of ferocious tannin in its youth, another reason for the prolonged aging in these large wooden barrels, a time for the wine to repose and find its identity as it emerges from the cocoon of tannins to reveal an exceptionally complex crowd of aromas and flavors.
