A deep colour, brilliant purplish red.
The nose is lifted by its aromatic bouquet, marked by powerful red-berry and violet notes.
The palate is ample and velvety, on fresh, silky tannins.
2021 vintage.
A spring with very little rain, resulting in few treatments.
Very cool nights, with ripening taking a long time. Since the grapes were in perfect health, we were able to wait. A later harvest than in the last 10 years, similar to the early 2000s.
High acidity, dense yet very refined tannins, and perfect balance.
A great vintage, comparable to 2000 and 2005.
What the critics say
91 / 100
JEB DUNNUCK
"Contrechamps is a sought-after cuvée, vinified with nuance and delicacy, Mourvèdre-dominant and completed by Syrah, Cinsault, and Grenache. What I appreciate in this 2018 Bandol Contrechamps is its purple color and elegant notes of musk and sumac, then a very long, full, caressing texture. The aging imparts real class and subtlety, and the wine can be cellared for 10-15 years. Best from 2026-2033."
