"A Red with Character"

Vannières Rouge 2022 offers a nose of black fruit aromas—blackcurrant and blueberry—accented by hints of pepper and spices; after opening, notes of ripe olives and dried apricot emerge. The palate is complex and velvety, with silky tannins, leading to a long, lingering finish. Let it age in the cellar for a few years before enjoying it… with garlic lamb, for example!

Bettane & Desseauve

Wine rated (2026 guide) 94/100 (2021 vintage)

Rated estate (2020 guide): 4* Stars (Producers of the very highest quality, the pride of French viticulture)

About the estate:

The château is one of Provence’s great estates. Éric Boisseaux, a pillar of the Bandol appellation, is ensuring the legacy continues and now works alongside his son Charles-Eric. While for a long time they produced only a single grand cuvée in all three colors, 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 nuances of tobacco and leather that are gently refined over time; they rank among the appellation’s finest red wines.

About the estate:

This family venture began in 1956 with Colette Boisseaux, continued with her son Éric, and is now carried on by her grandson Charles-Éric. 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.
