"Deep purple color. Attractive, spicy nose of black pepper, garrigue, leather and layers of ripe black fruit. Full palate with good volume, digestible and fresh black fruits with already rounded tannins, long and persistent finish, great purity and potential." (Andreas Larsson 2022)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (guide 2023) 93/100
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
Planted in 1980 and purchased in 2010 by Caroline and Philippe Chauvin, this 15-hectare estate, eight of which are in Bandol, is set on a hillside and is organized around terraces. Facing north, down a fairly steep slope, the vineyard is in the process of rising from its ashes. With the construction of a beautiful winery, perfectly integrated into the landscape, and the opening of a farm inn offering a wide range of products from their own production, the estate takes the notion of hospitality and terroir to heart.
