BANDOL

94 Château Vannières 2019 Bandol. Almost entirely Mourvèdre, the wine is beautifully perfumed rich in spice and with black fruits that have a seriously structured character. With its density and its firm tannins, the wine should develop further. Drink from 2025. H. Mercer Wine & Spirit Imports. —R.V.

abv: 14% Price: $48

93 Château Guilhem Tournier 2017 Cuvée Luisa Jeanne (Bandol). This ripe, smoothly textured and polished wine is now approaching maturity. It still has tannins under the black fruits and licorice flavors, while everything has come together. This is a fine wine ready to drink from 2023. Kysela Père et Fils. Cellar Selection. —R.V.

abv: 14% $50
