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."
