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!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Wine rated (guide 2024) 93/100
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.
