Domaine de Terrebrune 2024 Bandol Blanc, Provence

“The defining features of Terrebrune’s terroir are its direct proximity to the Mediterranean, in the path of cooling sea breezes, and the distinctive soil from which the vines emerge—reddish clay over fissured limestone from the Triassic era, extremely rare in Bandol. Both contribute to the house style: these are lean, taut, and focused wines of great elegance capable of long-term aging. No need to wait, though—this precise, mineral blend of Clairette, Ugni Blanc, and Bourboulenc has an ethereal perfume, reminiscent of blossoming flowers with a hint of fennel, that makes it irresistible right now.”—Anthony Lynch, Kermit Lynch Imports

"This 2024 Bandol Blanc has every quality to evolve serenely. The color is still pale and clear, and the nose offers, on aeration, delicate notes of fern, dill, and rubbed white stones. The texture is aerial, pared down, and of great brilliance; allow it a good ten years and the surprise will be remarkable. Best from 2030-2034."--Antoine Petrus, JebDunnick.com
