(Notes from the 2014 vintage)

The Château's range also includes a white Bandol. This classic wine from the appellation is the result of meticulous care given to the vines throughout the year. Complex and refined, it combines aromas of citrus fruits, pears, and white flowers, and has a surprisingly long finish with notes of honey and lime blossom. A truly beautiful white wine!

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated 16/20 (2014 vintage) (Very good wine)

Rated estate (2020 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)

About the estate:

The château is one of Provence's great estates. Éric Boisseaux, a pillar of the Bandol appellation, is ensuring the tradition is passed on and now works with his son Charles-Eric. For a long time, they produced only one great cuvée in three colors, but with the arrival of the younger generation, the range is evolving and a breath of fresh air is blowing through the cellar. The classic red Bandols have an undeniable capacity for aging, quickly taking on nuances of tobacco and leather, which are allowed to mellow quietly over time: they are among the finest expressions of the appellation's reds.

This family adventure began in 1956 with Colette Boisseaux, continued with her son Éric, and today with her grandson Charles-Éric. The estate has 34 hectares of vineyards, dominated by a 19th-century château, whose older wine cellar bears witness to winegrowing activity dating back to the 16th century.
