Château Pradeaux - Bandol 2020 (750ml)
Château Pradeaux is situated on the outskirts of the town of Saint Cyr-sur-Mer that lies directly on the Mediterranean Ocean between Toulon and Marseilles. The estate has been in the hands of the Portalis family since before the French Revolution. In fact, Jean-Marie-Etienne Portalis, who inherited the estate in 1752, helped draft the Napoleonic Code and assisted at the negotiation of the Concordat. The estate was devastated during the French Revolution and suffered the effects of the phylloxera epidemic in the 19th century. Suzanne Portalis and her daughter, Arlette, retreated to the domaine during World War II and undertook to revive the domaine; it is currently under the direction of Cyrille Portalis, the sole direct descendant of Suzanne and Arlette, assisted by his wife, Magali, and now his two sons, Etienne and Edouard. Mostly Mourvedre with a small amount of Grenache blended in, this is a deeply mineral, broodingly powerful red but with great grace and freshness, an iron fist in a velvet glove.
