Domaine du Gros' Nore Bandol Blanc 2017 |
Domaine du Gros Noré has been in the region for hundreds years selling grapes to notable producers such as Domaine Ott and Chateau de Pibarnon. It was not until 1997 that Alan started bottling under his label. The wine is tasting better than ever. This Ugni Blanc and Clairette blend offers floral stone fruits and a touch of savory vegetable flavors. Great depth and concentration with a long lasting creamy texture.
Arguably the most significant appellation in Provence, Bandol produces spicy, earthy, rich red wines. These tend to be big and well-structured, relying on the Mourvèdre grape for their power. Vines in Bandol are grown in very meager soils of gravel, clay, and limestone: this, combined with the hot, dry coastal climate, gives these thick-skinned berries exactly what they need in order to thrive.
