Chateau Ste Anne Bandol Rouge 2021

Petra Novak — Birthday treat that delivered

8/10

My wife got me this for my birthday and it was a really lovely bottle. Poured it and straight away the smell was incredible — bold and confident, loads of character. Went perfectly with the lamb we had. The kind of wine where you finish your glass and immediately pour another without even thinking about it.

Aiko Tanaka — Decent, needs time maybe?

7/10

Saw this on a restaurant wine list and ordered it. It was nice enough but I feel like it was holding back a bit — like the complexity was there but wasn't quite ready to come out fully. Might be one of those wines that needs another year or two in the bottle. Good but not blown away at this price point.

Camila Ortiz — Proper Friday night wine

9/10

Picked this up from a local wine shop after the guy behind the counter recommended it. Really glad I did — it's got this deep, layered thing going on where you keep finding new flavours as you drink it. Structured but not harsh at all. At nearly 40 quid it's not an everyday buy but it's genuinely worth it for a special meal.
