Chateau Vannieres Bandol Rouge 2009 (12 Bottles)

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

The Château Vannières Bandol Rouge 2009 is a particularly notable vintage from the Bandol appellation, a region in Provence known for producing some of France's most powerful and structured wines. This wine is predominantly made from Mourvèdre, the primary grape of the region, with smaller amounts of Grenache and Cinsault contributing to the blend. The 2009 vintage is generally considered to be excellent in Bandol, and this wine should be showing a nice balance of power, complexity, and maturity.

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

The nose is rich, complex, and inviting, with layers of dark fruit such as blackberries, black cherries, and plums. There's a strong, earthy quality to the wine, with notes of leather, tobacco, and a subtle hint of forest floor or truffle. As the wine opens up, additional aromas of dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary), Mediterranean spices, and a touch of pencil lead or graphite emerge, giving the wine a sense of depth and minerality. Oak aging imparts a faint toastiness, with a touch of vanilla and warm spice in the background.

Full-bodied and structured, with a firm tannin backbone that is already quite well-integrated for a wine of this age. The wine has a lovely richness and depth, without being overly heavy.

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.
