APPELLATION
AOC Bandol – Red
GRAPE VARIETIES Mourvèdre (70 à 75%), Grenache(14 à 16%),
Cinsault (8 à 9%), Carignan (2 à 3%)
SOIL
Mix of clay and limestone – Grapes grown at
various vineyards of the Domaine.
CULTIVATION
Traditionally tilled soil (both mechanically and
by hand) without the use of herbicides. The
vines are treated without any chemical
fungicides. Yields are kept to 35/38 hectolitres
per hectare to allow the grapes to reach their
full potential.
HARVEST
The grapes are harvested by hand and carried
in small bins (30 kg). Clusters are handselected in the vineyard and in the cellar.
VINIFICATION
After destemming, the grapes are traditionally
fermented with natural yeast; vinified for 2 or
3 weeks in temperature-controlled stainless
steel or concrete vats. Once pressed, the wine
is put in large oak casks (25 to 75hl) to
complete malolactic fermentation and to
mature for 18 to 20 months. Bottled without
fining nor filtering.
TASTING
A deep ruby color. Aromas of dark fruit.
Intense smooth tannins. After 5 or 6 years of
aging, the wine will develop notes of leather,
forest-floor and small red fruit.
