Terroir et vineyard
Our vines bask in the Provençal sun on clay-limestone soils and benefit from the freshness of the nearby sea. The excellent quality of the grapes reflects the dedication of a passionate team and carefully considered farming methods that respect biodiversity. Our agroforestry practices are preparing the vineyard for the changes ahead.
Vinification
As is mandatory in Bandol, the harvest is done by hand, allowing for meticulous sorting. After fermentation of the destemmed and crushed berries, the wine is aged in large oak casks for the typical 18 months required by the appellation. Once racked, it is blended and then rests a few months in stainless steel tanks before bottling in early summer. Best enjoyed after 5 years of aging, it will delight you for at least the next 30 years.
