Gueissard Bandol Rouge is a premium red wine produced by Domaine du Gros'Noré, a renowned winery located in the Bandol appellation of Provence, France. The vineyards are situated on steep hillsides overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, where the vines benefit from the warm sun and cool sea breezes. The wine is made from a blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Carignan grapes, which are carefully handpicked and sorted to ensure only the best fruit is used. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including long maceration and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a full-bodied wine with rich flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Aromas of blackberry and cassis dominate the nose of this Gueissard Bandol Rouge, backed by subtle hints of herbs and earth.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with a bold core of dark fruit, supported by a firm tannic frame and balanced acidity. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant mineral flavor. A classic Bandol Rouge, this is sure to please.
Nestled in the south of France, Provence is a Mediterranean paradise for wine lovers. With its stunning landscapes, mild climate, and rich history, Provence as a wine region is more than just the home to refreshing holiday rosé wines.
The history of winemaking in Provence dates back to the ancient Greeks, who first planted vines in the region in 600 BC. Since then, the region has become renowned for its unique terroir and its production of high-quality wines. In the 19th century, the region experienced a period of decline due to the phylloxera epidemic, but it has since recovered and is now one of the most important wine regions in France.
