Winemaker
Late-ripening Mourvèdre on south-facing restanque terraces above the Mediterranean. The estate behind this lot is named only to enrolled members; until then you're backing the region, the style, and a verified track record — not a label.
The history.
Bandol has made wine far longer than any of us. We farm a small parcel of it, by hand, the way it was taught to us — sunny mediterranean with the drying mistral wind.
What this vintage is showing so far.
“Cooler nights than usual through spring. Flowering was clean. Cautiously optimistic about where this vintage is heading.”
— the winemaker, updated this month
Philosophy.
Balance over power. I'd take a wine you can finish a bottle of over one that wins a tasting and tires by the second glass.

Dug soil pits across the old block. You can watch the schist and limestone with red clay and gravel change with every shovel — it's why no two rows here taste the same.
