Often refered to as the Grand Cru of Provence, Bandol is a wine region situated east of Cassis, on the south coast near Marseille. The name Bandol is derived from the ancient Phocaean port and despite the region being ravaged by phylloxera in the late 19th century, the region recovered well as the vignerons of the region realized that the arid, infertile, and well-drained sandy marl and limestone soils were perfect for late-ripening Mourvèdre that thrives in the heat.
The hillside vineyards form a natural amphitheatre where terraces are supported by river stone walls called ‘restanques’. Bandol produces some amazing whites from Clairette blended with Ugni Blanc or Bourboulenc, and structured, flavourful rosé, however it is best known for its signature red wines, and as the French home of the Mourvedre grape (which originated in Spain, known as Monastrell).
These rich, intense wines are made with up to 95% Mourvedre and aged in oak for at least 18 months. Despite the lowest yields in France, Bandol has a reputation that extends beyond French borders as the finest representative of quality wine for Provence. One of the finest proprietors for the wines of this regions that we have come across is Domaine du Gros Noré and well as the world-famous Domaine Tempier.
