Chateau Barthes Bandol Blanc 2023

50 % Clairette, 40 % Ugni blanc, 5 % Rolle (Vermentino) and 5 % Sauvignon blanc. White Bandol is a relative rarity though becoming slightly more popular. From higher fresher limestone terroirs that have a cooler north facing exposition. Fresh and gently perfumed with hints of provencal herbs and weight and sophistication. This delicious white from Barthès suits so well any aperitif or seafood situation.

‘A light nose, of citrus fruits, blackcurrant and honeysuckle against a backdrop of scrubland. Supple, ample and silky, the palate, centered on exotic fruits, blossoms into a finish with lemony accents. A very succesful wine that goes perfectly with: Aperitif / Seafood, shellfish / White meats.’ 4 Stars, Le Guide Hachette du Vin.
