WINE ADVOCATE

"Produced from a parcel of Clairette and Ugni Blanc planted in 1943, the 2017 Bandol Blanc Cuvee Estagnol features fabulous aromas of white peaches and sea spray. Full-bodied and rich, it combines mouthwatering brininess with a decent, silky mouthfeel to arrive at outstanding balance on the long, long finish. Drink Date: 2022-2027. Joe Czerwinski. January 2023. (Estagnol 2017)."
