Château Vannières - Bandol blanc 2020
91/100
Wine Enthusiast
This wine, a classic of the appellation, is the result of meticulous care taken with the vines throughout the year. Complex and full of finesse, it blends aromas of citrus, pears, and white flowers, and offers a surprisingly long finish with notes of honey and linden blossom. A truly beautiful white wine!

Rated estate (2020 guide): 4 stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)
About the estate:
The estate is one of Provence’s leading wine producers. Éric Boisseaux, a pillar of the Bandol appellation, is passing the torch and now works alongside his son Charles-Eric. While for many years they produced only a single premium cuvée in all three styles, with the arrival of the younger generation the lineup is evolving and a breath of fresh air is sweeping through the cellar. The classic red Bandols have an undeniable capacity for aging, quickly developing notes of tobacco and leather that mature gracefully over time; they rank among the appellation’s finest reds.

The estate features a 34-hectare vineyard, centered around a 19th-century château, whose older wine cellar attests to winemaking activities dating back to the 16th century.
