2021 Hirondelle à la Volée

An ephemeral blend capturing the vintage's exceptional freshness, this Mourvèdre with a hint of Syrah represents a creation guided by intuition. A balanced partition without wood aging, the wine remains smooth and spontaneous, expressing itself freely in a floral dimension. The Mourvèdre shows its aromatic side with rose-petal and violet characteristics balanced by subtle notes of menthol and garrigue. This delicate wine embodies Mediterranean flavors in a medium-bodied idiom, distinguished by its mineral streak and refreshing character—a style very different from traditional Bandol, with lighter, less tannic structure.
