Domaine de Terrebrune Bandol Rouge, Provence, France 2020 Weingut & Gastehaus Berger the 2022 Remoissenet Les Cazetiers

the 2022 Remoissenet Les Cazetiers offers depth

sweeping in with lemon and grapefruit and underpinning that cherry and almond frangipane richness with tense power

and brown sugar on the nose with hints of pineapple sage

cedar and baking spices

this is a star of the vintage

Domaine de Terrebrune Bandol Rouge, Provence, France 2020 Weingut & Gastehaus Berger the 2022 Remoissenet Les CazetiersMidnight purple color. As brooding on the nose as the color would suggest, showing dark plum, loganberry, crushed minerals, graphite, iodine, and potting soil. The body is dense and full, packed with blackberry preserves, licorice, cocoa powder, and iron ore. The meaty density of this wine cannot be overstated, yet integrated tannins and soft minerals on the finish keep the palate in balance.
