Chateau Vannieres Bandol Rouge 2009 (12 Bottles)

🛒Marketplace Product - Please allow up to 3 - 5 days for dispatch.

Appearance: Deep ruby red with some garnet edges, indicative of age and maturity.

Nose: The nose is complex and aromatic, with dark fruit notes of blackberries, plums, and black cherries. Over time, it reveals earthy undertones, hints of leather, tobacco, and dried herbs, with a subtle spiciness (black pepper, clove) and a touch of Mediterranean garrigue (rosemary, thyme).

Palate: Full-bodied with firm tannins that have softened over the years. The dark fruit flavours (blackcurrant, black cherry) continue to dominate, balanced by savoury elements and an elegant minerality. The wine is well-structured, with good acidity providing freshness despite the maturity, and a long, smooth finish with a hint of oak.

Pairs well with rich, hearty dishes such as grilled meats (lamb, beef), stews, game (wild boar, venison), and Mediterranean cuisine (roasted vegetables, olives, and grilled fish). It also works well with mature cheeses like Manchego or aged cheddar.
