Chateau Pradeaux BANDOL 'LES LYS' 2020 is made from primarily the Mourvedre grape with smaller amounts of Grenached & Cinsault. This cuvee sources the younger vines of the estate (50% of the clusters are 'de-stemmed') resulting in a lighter, fresher version that is meant to be consumed young. The wine sees 2 years in large oak casks (used - 3 yrs.+ ) which function more as a vessel, rather than to impart lots of oak flavor. 

Tasting Notes - Medium deep red, with a bright rim (looking younger than its 5+ yrs of age). Leather, cigar box & wild herbal scrub (the French call it 'Garrigue'). Ripe berries with an undercurrent of black pepper and spice. Long finish, though this wine shows exceptionally well now, it should age gracefully for another few years.
