Bandol is one of the oldest vineyard in France. The first vine was planted by the Romans 2,500 years ago. Chateau Vannières is recognized among the most prestigious domaines of Bandol. Gaston Boisseaux, from Beaune in Burgundy aquires this property in 1957 and now, his son Eric, epicurean winemaker likes to play with concentration, finesse and elegance and these wines can aged for 30 years. Farming in the vineyard follows the purest tradition of the appellation.
A rather dense color, with amber rim variations. The nose is marked by notes of quince, figs, liquorice, pepper, mint, with an ethereal touch. The attack is supple but the tannins are still pretty firm with some vegetal notes and spices.
