Château Pradeaux

Château Pradeaux tells a story, a memory. It was Arlette Portalis and her mother Suzanne who, during the 39-45 war, came to rehabilitate the estate destroyed by the occupation. With the help of Baron Leroy, founder of the INAO, they embarked on the Bandol and Mourvèdre adventure.

Cyrille is the only descendant and, along with the land, Arlette has passed on her passion for Bandol. Since 1985, he has been the sole winemaker at Château Pradeaux, the champion of authentic earthwork, the heir to the passion for Mourvèdre and its patient ageing in oak tuns. Each generation gives of its best, crafting the precious nectar with respect and love. Each brings his own personal touch, his own modernity, without denying the heritage received from the elders. Thus, the family adventure continues, and Château Pradeaux continues to fascinate the current descendants of the Portalis family.

Château Pradeaux offers two Bandol crus: a red Bandol made from a blend of Mourvèdre and Grenache, and a Bandol Rosé made from Mourvèdre and Cinsault. The wines of Château Pradeaux reflect the qualities of the estate, whose origins date back to 1752. A family in harmony with the terroir, vines and olive trees cradled by the sea breeze, all bathed in sunshine.
