Domaine de Terrebrune - Terreblonde 2024

A terroir within a terroir—that sums up Terrebrune, a cherished estate led by the joint management of Reynald Delille and Jean d’Arthuis. Located in Ollioules, this estate near the Mediterranean balances the sea mist with first-rate limestone soil. No brute force, nor overly intense color, but wines imbued with sensitivity—ones that deserve time to develop and reveal their full aromatic potential. More recently, Julien Paul, a brilliant technical director, has helped the trias assert itself and refined Terrebrune’s precious texture. The 2019 vintage stands at the pinnacle of refined, elegant Bandol wines.

Located in the town of Ollioules, the estate features 35 hectares of vineyards planted on terraces facing the Mediterranean Sea, which it cultivates using organic farming methods. The vineyard benefits from Triassic clay-limestone marl soil unique to Bandol, which gives it a distinctive character. The property is located just a few kilometers from the sea and benefits from sea mist, which is ideal for Mourvèdre.
