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!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (2020 guide) 4*Stars (Very high quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

The château is one of Provence's great estates. Éric Boisseaux, one of the pillars of the Bandol appellation, has taken over the reins and now works with his son Charles-Eric. For a long time, they produced a single grand cuvée in all three colors, but with the arrival of the younger generation, the range is evolving and a breath of youth is blowing through the cellars. The classic Bandols reds have an undeniable capacity for ageing, quickly taking on nuances of tobacco and leather, which slowly develop a patina over time: they are among the finest expressions of the appellation's reds.

About the domain :

This family adventure began in 1956 with Colette Boisseaux, and has continued with her son Éric and today her grandson Charles-Éric. The estate boasts 34 hectares of vineyards, commanded by a 19th-century château whose older winery bears witness to winegrowing activity as far back as the 16th century.
