Château-Jean-Pierre-Gaussen Bandol 2014

 Dark, dense with a deep and old-world complexity that’s far from the juicy fruit bombs of modern winemaking. Showcasing intense Mourvedre fruit tones of wild blueberry, signature notes of thyme and scrub herbs, reglisse and black licorice, with a complex finish of earthy minerality. Just 13.5% alcohol, due to higher elevation vineyards and the late-ripening Mourvedre, make this wine powerful, yet elegant and balanced.
