Thanks to modest harvests, natural yeasts, properly performed 18 months cultivation as well as bottling without fining and filtering we find here an unspoiled treasure of the art of wine producing. These wines reflect the character of the Terroir in the very best manner: uniquely spicy and fine natural/wild aromas blend beautifully with the Mourvèdre fruit.
Here a little secret for the outstanding quality of de Bandol-Cuvée: During the fermentation of the mash of the late harvested Mourvedre grapes, overripe grapes of the Grenache type are added by and by thus increasing the sugar and glycerin as well as the fullness of the aroma of the becoming wine.
Thomas Mann, Aldous Huxley, Marcel Pagnol, D.H. Lawrence, Fernandel and other celebrities have spent time in the Bandol region, relaxing, gaining inspiration and enjoying the wines.
The Red Bandol accompanies strong dishes like lamb, venison - and to our surprise, Mediterranean fish dishes - perfectly.
