2015 | La Bastide Blanche Bandol Cuvée Fontanéou | Provence Far Mountain known for its intense flavorsThe nose of the 2015 Fontanou wafts from the glass in a fine blend of black cherries, dark berries, a hint of tree bark, pepper, woodsmoke, some spiced meat, garrigue and a fantastic base of soil tones.
