Chateau Jean-Pierre Gaussen, Bandol Rouge 'Longe Garde'

All of the red wines are 95% Mourvèdre & 5% Grenache. Jean-Pierre marks the vintages he considers finest as ‘Longue Garde’, however the wine making doesn’t change. Destemmed grapes, spontaneous fermentation, around 15 days in cuve before 18 month in Foudre of different sizes, none of which are new. Jean-Pierre’s supple, elegant style produces supple wines with pure fruit, that drink well young but have great cellar potential.
