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

The Château Vannières Bandol Rouge 2016 is a relatively recent vintage from one of the premier estates in the Bandol appellation, which is known for its wines with great depth, structure, and the ability to age gracefully. The 2016 vintage is recognized as a particularly balanced year, with optimal growing conditions that allowed for excellent fruit ripeness while maintaining good acidity, which is key to the freshness and longevity of these wines.

Deep ruby red, with hints of purple at the rim. The wine is youthful and vibrant, showcasing the intensity of the fruit and the wine’s youthful character.

The nose is expressive and complex, offering an enticing bouquet of ripe dark fruit—blackberries, black cherries, and plums. There’s an underlying smokiness from the oak aging, which adds a layer of vanilla and toasted spices (cinnamon, clove). The wine’s Mourvèdre base brings forward a mix of savory and earthy aromas, such as leather, tobacco, and a touch of dried herbs (thyme, rosemary). As the wine opens, a hint of violet or lavender adds a floral lift, giving the wine added complexity and freshness. A slight minerality (reminiscent of wet stone or graphite) adds a touch of sophistication.

Full-bodied, with an impressive structure and balance. The wine has a dense texture and a well-defined tannin structure, which is characteristic of Mourvèdre from Bandol.

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.
