Le Galantin Rouge

Bandol AOP - Vintage 2022

This 2022 red wine reveals a deep robe with ruby highlights—intense and brilliant. The nose is both profound and complex, offering aromas of black and red fruits such as blackcurrant and morello cherry, enhanced by spicy nuances, vanilla, and a hint of toast. On the palate, the attack is silky, followed by a lovely sweetness. Powerful, well-integrated tannins then bring structure and richness to the wine.
