Château Vannières
Château Vannières, located between the village of La Cadière d'Azur and Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, faces due south and west, and is protected to the north by the Sainte Baume massif. To the east of the property lies the village of Le Castellet. The Château Vannières estate covers 47 hectares, 33 of which are dedicated to vines.

This Provence vineyard is planted with the traditional Bandol grape varieties: Mourvèdre , Grenache and Cinsault for the red and rosé, Clairette and Rolle for the white, on marl and limestone soils. The vineyard is run in the purest Bandol winegrowing tradition, with the vines being hoed, unhoed and scratched to aerate the soil and prevent the growth of weeds. At Château Vannières, the grapes are harvested exclusively by hand, and each grape variety from each plot is vinified separately. The wines are traditionally aged in oak tuns and barrels for the reds, and in stainless steel tanks for the rosés and whites. A meticulous and rigorous approach that ranks Château Vannières wines among the best in the appellation.

Château Vannières - Bandol rouge 2020

to be penned
long finish

"Red with character

Vannières rouge 2020 presents a nose of black fruit, blackcurrant and blueberry, enhanced by pepper and spice fragrances. After opening, ripe olive and dried apricot notes are added. The palate is complex and velvety, with silky tannins and a long, persistent finish. Forget about cellaring it for a few years before enjoying it... with garlic lamb, for example!

clairette
finesse
oysters and seafood

This wine, a classic of the appellation, is the fruit of a thousand years' care in the vineyard. Complex and full of finesse, it blends aromas of citrus fruit, pear and white flowers, with a surprisingly long finish of honey and lime blossom. A very fine white!

89+/100 Robert Parker

"Dominated by Mourvèdre, the Bandol 2012 displays the broad, rich, full-bodied style of this cuvée, with intense notes of wood, tar and chocolate, full-bodied richness, fine tannins and solid length. There's a lot of wood here, but also a lot of fruit." (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

This Bandol rosé has a bright, pale salmon-pink color and an exotic, mineral nose with notes of orange peel and angelica. The palate is fruity, followed by delicate notes of roasted almonds and spices. A gourmet rosé for guaranteed pleasure!

The Château's range also includes a white Bandol. This wine, a classic of the appellation, is the fruit of a thousand years' care in the vineyard. Complex and full of finesse, it blends aromas of citrus fruit, pear and white flowers, with a surprisingly long finish of honey and lime blossom. A very fine white!

3/5 (5 reviews)

The racy style of Château Vannières wines can be found in this cuvée. The blend of Grenache with Mourvèdre and Syrah makes Héritage more accessible to the palate. The palate is marked by lovely red fruit notes, enhanced by fine, elegant spicy touches. A pleasure cuvée!
