Domaine La Suffrène
Domaine La Suffrène extends over 50 hectares in the Bandol AOC, comprising a number of parcels with varied geological characteristics. Most of the production is located between the two rudist (fossiliferous limestone) massifs of Le Castellet, La Cadière and the slopes of Sainte-Anne du Castellet. The Bandol area is renowned for its excellent climate, with 3,000 hours of sunshine a year, the invigorating influence of the sea air, and rainfall that rarely exceeds 650 mm spread over autumn and winter.
The Domaine La Suffrène vineyard, made up mainly of old vines, is planted in clay-limestone soil, with the sun's rays reflecting intensely off the hillsides, the maritime influence protecting the vines from winter frosts, and the landscape's relief, all of which create ideal conditions for putting sunshine in the bottle. This is where Bandol's flagship grape variety, Mourvèdre, expresses itself in all its richness. It brings structure and finesse to the rosé, and an aromatic palette of spices and licorice to the reds. To balance this expression, it is accompanied by the traditional grape varieties of Provence: Cinsault, Grenache and Carignan.

Domaine La Suffrène - Bandol rosé 2023
5/5 (1 review)
89/100 RVF
Bandol rosé is always a fine wine, with a brilliant, slightly salmon color and a fine, elegant nose of candied citrus fruits and spices. The palate is well-balanced and fresh, with a long, flavorful finish carried by delicate bitters.
Domaine La Suffrène - Bandol blanc 2023
2*Coup de Coeur Hachette
An eye-catching, even exuberant nose with notes of white peach, pineapple and white flowers. Sublimely generous, the palate reveals the same aromas as on the nose, and lengthens with precise acidity.
Domaine La Suffrène - Bandol Les Lauves 2018
4/5 (2 reviews)
2*Coup de Coeur Hachette
"After a magnificent series of Favorites rosés, La Suffrène returns to the fundamentals of the appellation with this superlative red. Superlatives that were not lacking during the tasting: "precise", "modern", "impressive"... Behind its intense ruby color lies a delicious bouquet of ripe black and red fruits (wild strawberry, Morello cherry, blackberry), toasted hazelnut and leather, with a lightly spicy undertone. Supple on the attack, then full and silky, structured by fine tannins, the palate unfurls an unctuous body bursting with ripe fruit that marries perfectly with the wood. A perfect balance between power and delicacy". (Le Guide Hachette 2022)

16,5/20 Gault & Millau
"A rosé with more marked color and salmon hues. Appearance of good concentration. Lively, fresh, fruity and mineral on the nose. The wine is rich and easy on the palate, with a finish of grapefruit zest. A wine for sun-drenched cuisine". (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2016 - Gault Millau)
Domaine La Suffrène - Bandol 2014
3.7/5 (11 reviews)
1*Étoile Hachette
With its lovely, clear, brilliant, slightly golden color, this Bandol has a very fine nose, distilling notes of candied citrus fruit, fresh almond and a touch of brioche bread. The palate is full-bodied and fresh, with a hint of vanilla and a long-lasting aroma. The South in a bottle!
