Bastide de la Ciselette Bandol 2022

The vineyards are farmed organically, with some biodynamic practices - no use of pesticides or herbicides. They follow the lunar calendar and plow by horse. The decision to label lutte raisonnée is one of caution should it be necessary due to unforeseen climatic circumstances. The Bandol Rouge is sourced from the few acres of old vines that immediately surround the estate. The wine is 80% Mouvedre and 20% Grenache. Aged for 18 months in foudre.  Dirty, earthy back bone, dark chocolate, concentrated cassis.
