Domaine de la Bégude - Bandol - Blanc - 2022

Wine:

The 2022 white Bandol needs to be aired a little first (decanted or served in tall glasses), because after a while it reveals its full aromatic potential, with aromas of fruit and flowers and hints of restrained ageing. This fresh, delicate ensemble continues on the palate, with a dynamic, precise, salivating structure that should be served quite chilled, as it proudly displays its fatness and generosity. A rare and discreet appellation to discover with monkfish or sea bass, meunière or grilled. Drink over three years or more for connoisseurs.

Vinification:

Hand-harvested, totally destemmed. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, aged in stainless steel vats.

Organic wine, certified by Ecocert.

Color:

Bright, light yellow.

Nose:

Fresh and delicate, with aromas of fruit and yellow flowers, underlined by sober ageing.

Palate:

Dynamic and precise, this wine reveals a dry, salivating Bandol with long-lasting aromas and a rich palate.

Temperature:

Decant before serving between 10 and 12°C.

Food and wine pairing:

A fish: monkfish, salmon, cod or sea bass, simply meunière or grilled, would be the perfect companion!

Cellar aging:

From now until 2026 and beyond for enthusiasts
