The 2019 Château Pradeaux Bandol Rouge presents a dark garnet hue with violet reflections. The nose is expressive, offering notes of blueberries, Burlat cherries, wild herbs, and blood orange. On the palate, it is both silky and structured, dense and enveloping, with finely chiseled tannins and a delightful "limestone" note.
Château Pradeaux practices organic farming methods, cultivating their vineyards as naturally as possible. Grapes are harvested manually to ensure optimal quality. In line with traditional techniques, the grapes are not destemmed, contributing to the wine's robust tannic profile. The wine undergoes extended aging in large wooden barrels, allowing it to develop complexity and depth.
This wine pairs excellently with rich dishes such as civet de chevreuil (venison stew), spiced duck, or rosemary-infused lamb. Additionally, it complements hearty dishes like beef, lamb, game meats, and mushrooms.
