"A southern white with a refreshing finish of fennel and white peach.

Its aromatic palette features notes of white peach and fennel. La Bastide Blanche's white wine is generous on the palate, with a dense body and fine bitters. Perfect balance!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the domain :

The estate is run by Michel Bronzo, supported by Stéphane Bourret, technical director and fine wine taster. In just a few years, the estate has come very close to the appellation's historic leaders. The consistency and intensity of its wines is the result of hard work, from the vine to the cellar, combined with the right understanding of the terroir. Bastide Blanche is planted on red clay soils for the fontanéou cuvée, and stony clay for the estagnol cuvée. The wines have a firm, earthy character.

About the domain :

A benchmark estate, created in 1972 by Baptistin Bronzo and his son Michel from 10 ha of vines. Enlarged and entirely restructured, the vineyard now covers 48 ha, terraced at the foot of Le Castellet and cultivated biodynamically. The Bronzo family has also leased the Châteaux des Baumelles (10 ha in Saint-Cyr) and du Castillon (8 ha in Le Castellet).

Rated (guide 2024) 91/100 (Vintage 2021)

Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the domain :

This estate, bought in 1973 by Louis and Michel Bronzo, produces serious wines in all three colors, combining power and finesse. The 47-hectare vineyard, mainly laid out in terraces, covers the geological diversity of the Bandol terroir. Stéphane Bourret, in charge of vinification, produces muscular reds that are more earthy than seaside, like the two great cuvées: Fontanéou (4,000 bottles a year), born of red clay terroirs facing due east in La Cadière-d'Azur, from a blend of mourvèdre and grenache, is racy; Estagnol (5,000 bottles a year), comes from clay-limestone soils mixed with gravelly areas, and offers very ripe, opulent substance. Made mainly from clairette and ugni blanc, the white is without doubt the most consistent and harmonious of the appellation. The old vintages available for sale enable you to benefit from the undeniable potential of the domaine's wines.
