wine enthusiast 92 pts"From one of the showpiece estates in Bandol, this wine is well structured, rich in tannins but also rich in blackberry flavors. It has weight and spicy concentration, while the 18 months in wood has smoothed and brought life to the structure. Drink the wine from 2022. - Roger Voss."

jeb dunnuck logo 250"The 2015 Begude Bandol is a step up and is comprised of 90% Mourvèdre and 10% Grenache aged in oak casks. It’s deeper and richer, with an almost Northern Rhône-like gaminess in its smoke, black fruits, peppery herbs, and meaty aromas and flavors. With full-bodied richness and ripe tannic structure, drink it over the coming 15 years or more."

wine enthusiast 94 pts"This is an impressively rich, still very young wine. Dominated by Bandol's own Mourvèdre grape, it is dense and concentrated. Spice and dark red fruits are shot through with a wonderful herbal character that conjures the southern warmth. The wine is still just setting out and will not be ready to drink before 2019.. -R.V."

It also holds a well-wrought tannic side, dark and solid, packed with black currant and berry fruits. It will age for many years and should not be drunk before 2019. -R.V."
