For grandiosity, the Cuvee Classique is Bandol in its most defined red wine form. Mourvèdre (75%) blended with Grenache and Cinsault and a smaller proportion of Carignan and Syrah. Handpicked, fermented slow over the course of 2-3 weeks, it then spends up to 20 months in very large foudres before bottling unfined and unfiltered. Put simply, this is the Bandol benchmark - a gloriously rustic red, yet in a charismatic way, with firm tannins, a real sense of heartiness and an unquestioned identity, made by one of Bandol's absolute hero producers.
