Wine description | The 2015 Vin Gris is a different breed from its predecessors, in large part due to the significant addition of this old vine mourvèdre which lends it a more structured, fleshier if not quite zaftig frame with the requisite cut that the best Bandol rosés exhibit, yet still with the telltale flavors and aromas familiar to fans of previous vintages. It remains exceptionally aromatic, marked by the lifted violet freshness of the 129 year-old vine Bechthold cinsault, the first (and only saignée) component picked whose native yeasts start our ferment each vintage. The deeper Morello cherry and garrigue spice of centenarian Besson grenache, the citrus pith and melon of rolle, and the white peach and rosehip of alpine grenache from the Sierra Nevada foothills complete the picture. |
