   History

 

Bandol vineyard: Since the age of Antiquity, the Phoenician navy from Byblos, Sidon and Tyr used to visit our region to refuel their wine stock. Their enthusiasm was later testified by numerous ancient texts and artifacts found mostly in the Greco-roman antic colony of Tauroentum where the ruins are located around St-Cyr Sur-Mer. (Ancient Cadierenne territory)

People from Bandol have learned throughout the centuries to build a vineyard with bravery and talent; this is reflected in the pebbly terraces otherwise known as “restanques” which retain the soil on the hillside slopes.

Under the reign of Louis XIV, the Bandol soil saw its fame growing and was used for the court of France. It was even protected when Louis XV wanted to prohibit the planting of vines

We pick our grapes by hand; our environmental characteristics have banned the use of harvesting machines. 

Our vineyard benefits from an exceptional micro-climate: 3000 hours of sunshine, a rocky soil, the sea breeze which reduces the heat at the Mourvedre, the “king” slope of the area.

Our wine has grown especially popular with the Count of Epernon and it was even exported all the way to the Antilles islands.
