La Bastide Blanche

La Bastide Blanche works the limestone and clay soils of Bandol, the Provence appellation where Mourvèdre finds its truest expression. The winery's core releases center on this dark-skinned variety—structured, mineral, capable of aging—often blended with Grenache and Cinsault to add roundness and spice. The Bandol Cuvée Estagnol, a Mourvèdre-Grenache blend, represents the house's top expression, while the Cuvée Fontanéou layers those same varieties into a more complex whole. A straight Bandol Mourvèdre rounds out the portfolio. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Wine Advocate have all assessed these wines. The region's Mediterranean climate and the winery's focus on Mourvèdre-driven blends yield reds with the weight and tannin structure that define serious Bandol.
