Les Adrets Bandol Rouge
Availability: Out of Stock
Bandol A.O.C., La Cadière d’Azur, France 95% Mourvèdre, 5% Carignan
Les Adrets is produced by Moulin de La Roque, a growers’ cooperative situated in the famous Bandol Village of La Cadière d’Azur. Les Adrets means “Sunny Side” in French and in practical use refers to a slope soaked by the sunshine. As such, the vineyards that produce Les Adrets sit upon hillsides facing southeast, steep enough to require the growers to plant the vines in stone wall terraces called “restanques”. Les Adrets is produced from younger vines planted in the five diverse Bandol soil types: rudist limestone, Triassac pebbles, black marl, sandy marl, and red sand.
Lots are vinified separately prior to blending, with 18 months aging in large oak Foudres.
This elegantly perfumed wine is almost entirely Mourvèdre. Flavors of mint and rich blackberry are well integrated, giving a wine that still brings out fruit while just moving into a mature, complete phase. Drink now. ROGER VOSS
This is an unmistakably rich, almost burly wine with deep, ripe fruit and playful, peppery spice. Produced from younger vines, it is ready to drink now, though the wine will develop further with time.
