Domaine Dupuy de Lome Rouge AOP Bandol, 2019

Gamey aromas, typical of the Mourvèdre grape, combine with smoky characters. Fresh dark fruits emerge on the palate which has good mid-palate weight to balance the tannins. This is a structured savoury wine, developing some nice complexity and has the potential to cellar. A blend of 90% Mourvèdre with 10% Grenache, grapes were grown on 30-yearold vines on the north-facing Toulouzanne slopes. Grapes were picked by hand and manually sorted on a sorting table, destemmed and fed by gravity into tanks. Fermentation and maceration on skins for four weeks was followed by maturation in old oak foudres for 18 months.
