Old-school Bandol from one of the appellation's most uncompromising traditionalists, built almost entirely on Mourvedre and made to age for decades. The Cuvee Longue Garde sees 95% Mourvedre with a touch of Cinsault, fully destemmed, given a long maceration and raised in old foudre for nearly two years before release. At 2010, a structured and concentrated vintage in Provence, this is now entering a beautiful stretch of maturity where the wild, gamey, leathery side of Mourvedre meets sweet dark fruit. Decant it and give it some air, or hold a few more years; serious cellar candidates like this rarely show their full hand in a rush. A wine for people who love the savory, untamed end of southern France.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Daube of beef, braised lamb shoulder with rosemary, wild boar ragu, aged hard cheeses, or grilled tuna with tapenade.

Tasting Profile

Full-bodied and savory, with the gamey, leathery, earthy character mature Mourvedre develops. Dark macerated fruit, spice and a hint of garrigue, firm tannins softening with age, and a long, dry finish. Decanting helps.
