The estate and the wine |
|
|
Centenarian vines, organic farming and a deep respect for tradition — at Domaine Ray-Jane, the Constant family protects a true treasure, producing some of the most authentic Bandol wines, awarded 1 star in the prestigious French wine guide RVF.
Now led by the new generation, Julien and Vincent Constant, the estate stays true to its classic style with whole-cluster fermentations and long aging in large oak casks. |
|
| | |
|
Vinified with whole-cluster maceration and aged for nearly two years in oak, the 2021 Red Bandol is a beautifully balanced wine with aromas of strawberry, blackcurrant, and soft spices, enhanced by well-integrated oak that adds depth and complexity, along with subtle toasty, smoky notes. Its structure is powerful, concentrated, and finely textured, with silky yet generous tannins and a remarkable freshness that carries through to an exceptionally long finish. Enjoy it now with a daube provençale or beef Bourguignon, or let it evolve for another 2 to 3 years, with potential to age gracefully for up to a decade. Rated 93/100 by the Selection Committee. |
