NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
La Bastide Blanche Bandol Cuvée Fontanéou is an exceptional wine with the unique characteristics of the Bandol region in France.On the nose, you can expect a bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with hints of herbs and spices. The aromas are complex and inviting, drawing you in with their depth and richness.
The palate of La Bastide Blanche Bandol Cuvée Fontanéou is equally impressive. It offers a harmonious blend of fruit, earth, and savory notes. The ripe fruit flavors continue to shine, accompanied by nuances of black olives, thyme, and a touch of leather. The wine's structure is firm yet well-integrated, with velvety tannins and a balanced acidity that provide a long and satisfying finish.
This wine is a perfect companion for hearty dishes, such as grilled lamb or beef stew. Its robust character and depth of flavors make it a standout choice for those seeking a wine that can stand up to bold flavors.

ORIGINS
Winery: La Bastide Blanche
Region: Provence
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.CUSTOMER RATING
