This was my first white Bandol. I liked it. It was not what I was expecting. It is zippy, racy, with good citrus notes and a good lightness. Good complexity. Makes you go 'hmmmm'.

Aromas of cool orchard fruit - mostly white peaches and pears. The palate is zippy and has the feeling of a chablis - great mineral cut and precision. This might be my favorite vintage of La Bastide Blanche's Bandol Blanc. Great stuff, and candidate for "best summer wine".

Tim's. Older and mildly sherryish, my first thought was Jura. Not uninteresting, but a bit long in the tooth.
