Named in honor of Lucie “Lulu” and Lucien Peyraud, the legendary couple who helped put Bandol and its beloved Mourvèdre on the map, this is a little piece of Provençal wine history in a bottle. Dark cherries, wild herbs, black olives, and warm Mediterranean spice mingle with savory, earthy depth and beautifully structured tannins. A wine made for long lunches that turn into dinner, preferably with grilled lamb, ratatouille, and good company.
