2020 Domaine du Bagnol Cassis Rouge

80% Mourvèdre and 20% Grenache, the Cassis Rouge recalls Bandol, but its personality is friendlier, its fruits redder and crunchier, its tannins a charged caress rather than harsh. Still, it is an amply concentrated wine, full of dusty spice and with a vivacious sappiness that speaks of its low-yielding 50-year-old vines.
