Just watched this show again because I’m going to Provence in a couple weeks and planning to visit Bandol! Super-excited.

Thanks for getting me ready for the trip!

QOTD: Bandol is really great. The last one was the Mas de la Rouviére 2003.

Got a offer from Garagiste on the 2005 Tempier and did not know Bandol was Mourvedre. Have had that varietal before but in Spanish wines. Now I am curious about Bandol. Thanks Gary for the schoolin’!

A Shawn Kemp diss? Honestly? You damn well know 10 years ago you would have been all over him on your basketball team! The Sonics best years ( minus the 79′ title) were with Kemp/Payton. Knocking a guy long after his carear is over? *sad Justin* I forgive you though because you trash those dirty Pats. QOTD: No Bandol. Guess this means another new one to add to my to do list! *grin*

Love Bandol!

But i think that you should have included Domaine de l’Olivette in your show. It’s quite distinct from the other Bandols but yet sooooo interesting.

Please put more Bandols on your show!

Bonjour! I am so happy to find your review as my husband and I are on our way to taste Bandols this afternoon. We will definitely be on the lookout for Domaine Le Galantin…WOW! I suppose we must visit Domaine Tempier so we can avoide the “Bandol police”. PS Great to hear from the wine library as we are missing our shopping trips there since we moved away from Basking Ridge.

Wow! We stayed in Mas du Galintin around the corner from the Galantin winery last September during Rugby World Cup 2007. We visited many Bandol wineries and were at Galantin twice. Here’s is what you sniffed… it is a barnyard! That winery is a junky barnyard with broken farm gear and toothless servers that love their work. They even slipped us some of their grape leave liquor, which they smelled of.

Always fun to learn about new stuff. While I have heard about Bandol, and actually seen a bottle or two on the shelves of the local wine shop, I have never tried one. I think you just convinced me though! Speaking of Mourvedre, I have had a number of wines from Jumilla, Spain that feature this grape. Either excusively like Juan Gil, or ina blend like Finca Luzon Altos. I love the blueberry component!
