Château Pradeaux Bandol is composed of no less than 95% Mourvèdre (old vines). The nose is a mix of earthy loam and white flowers with a hint of animal fur; the color is ruby red; the fruit stains the palate and is lengthened by a near-perfect sense of roundness; the final attack is of ripe tannins that are dusty and sweet.
Food pairings: Grilled meats, skirt (Roumanian) steak, Provençal dishes, venison, wild boar, hearty stews, etc.
