2015 | La Bastide Blanche Bandol Cuvée Fontanéou | Provence J. Christopher leaving a lingering impression thatThe nose of the 2015 Fontanou wafts from the glass in a fine blend of black cherries, dark berries, a hint of tree bark, pepper, woodsmoke, some spiced meat, garrigue and a fantastic base of soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full bodied and quite precise in profile, with a rock solid core of fruit, great mineral drive and grip, ripe tannins and a long, complex and beautifully balanced finish.
