Product Description
A powerful yet disciplined expression of Bandol, the 2022 Domaine du Gros Noré Rouge delivers dark, sun-soaked fruit, savory Provençal depth, and firm structural authority. Built around Mourvèdre’s signature intensity, this wine is bold, earthy, and unapologetically traditional—equally compelling now with food and clearly built for aging.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Domaine du Gros Noré is a benchmark estate in the Bandol appellation of Provence, long respected for producing uncompromising, terroir-driven reds. The vineyards lie on steep, terraced hillsides near the Mediterranean, where limestone and clay soils combine with intense sunlight and cooling sea breezes to create ideal conditions for Mourvèdre.
The 2022 Bandol Rouge is dominated by Mourvèdre, supported by Grenache and Cinsault, adhering closely to classic Bandol tradition. Grapes are harvested at full phenolic maturity, fermented with extended maceration to extract color, tannin, and savory complexity, then aged in large, neutral oak foudres. This maturation approach softens the wine’s formidable structure while preserving purity of fruit and regional character. The result is a wine that emphasizes depth, longevity, and authenticity over polish or excess oak influence.
Tasting Profile
Nose:
Deep and expressive, offering aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and dark plum layered with garrigue, dried herbs, leather, and hints of cracked pepper and earth.
Palate:
Full-bodied and firmly structured, with concentrated dark fruit supported by muscular tannins and savory notes of olive tapenade, spice, and mineral undertones. Mourvèdre’s authority is unmistakable, delivering power balanced by freshness.
Finish:
Long, persistent, and earthy, with lingering dark fruit, spice, and a stony, herbal edge that underscores its Bandol identity.
