Domaine du Gros Noré 2019 Bandol Rouge
Tasting Note
Gros Noré has established itself as a prominent winery in Bandol, alongside its renowned neighbor, Tempier. Their Mourvèdre blends are known for their power, spiciness, and impressive ability to age. Like all exceptional Bandols, they maintain a fresh and vibrant quality infused with hints of salt and herbs. The 2019 vintage boasts an intensely aromatic profile of wild berry fruit and savory garrigue herbs. On the palate, it showcases a refined focus and grippy tannins, courtesy of the high-quality Mourvèdre grapes in the blend. These elements come together harmoniously, lending a dignified astringency to the finish that is complemented by abundant fruit flavors. Layers of tobacco, spice, and a touch of liquorice add complexity to the wine. It strikes a balance between earthiness and elegance, displaying remarkable character and offering substantial depth that will continue to evolve over the years.
