Product Notes

The La Bastide Blanche Bandol Rouge is a delectable French wine, originating from the renowned region of Provence. This ravishing red exhibits a profound marriage of earthy richness and dark fruity flavours. Scents of blackberry and ripe plum delight the nose, as subtle undertones of savoury spices and robust tannins tantalise the palate. Aged in oak, with a deep ruby hue and notes of wild herbs indicative of Bandol terroir, this wine embodies excellence. Savoured with red meats or mature cheeses, this outstanding Bandol Rouge offers a captivating testament to premium French winemaking, promising an exquisite, lingering finish in every sip.

About the Winery

La Bastide Blanche

Domaine de la Bastide Blanche is a family-run estate in the heart of Bandol, tucked into the limestone hills around Sainte-Anne du Castellet. Founded in the early 1970s by the Bronzo family, it remains in their hands today, led by Thomas Bronzo and a tightly knit cellar team.

The vineyards sit on terraced, clay-limestone slopes that face the sea, bathed by mistral winds and Mediterranean light. Mourvèdre is the backbone here, supported by Grenache, Cinsault and a little Syrah, while the whites draw on Clairette, Ugni Blanc and Bourboulenc. Farmed organically, the vines are low-yielding and carefully harvested by hand to preserve fruit purity and a sense of place.

In the winery, spontaneous fermentations, gentle extraction and long ageing in large old foudres shape Bandol reds of impressive depth, savour and structure. It's rosé is a benchmark: pale, vinous and gastronomic, with wild herb perfume and stony tension; the white is bright, saline and quietly complex. It’s a domaine that channels Bandol’s rugged beauty into bottles made to grace the table and evolve with time.

The estate’s reputation rests on exacting farming, patient élevage and a quietly confident team who prize clarity of flavour over fashion, vintage after vintage here.
