Description
An ancient domaine dating back to 1547, but more recently acquired
by Lucien Boudot, a winegrower up in Burgundy. Today the domaine
is farmed by his grandson and great grandson Eric and Charles-Eric.
The vineyards are largely limestone, and what first attracted us to their flagship
Bandol Rosé was the way it drank almost like a great white Burgundy. Delicate
extraction with white and rosé made entirely in stainless, including a year on lees
without stirring. Reds are fermented in cement, then aged in large foudres for two
years. The result is a house style that is exceptionally poised and understated,
especially from a region that is producing increasingly richer wines
