Nestled between the mountains for the north and Mediterranean Sea to the south, Bandol is a striking, tranquil Provencal landscape. Domaine de la Tour Bon owes its name to the watchtower which once stood atop the domaine, and sits at altitude (the highest in the AOC) on a limestone plateau in Le Brûlat du Castellet. They benefit from maritime breezes funnelling into an amphitheatre of arid red earth, clay, sand and gravel on a bedrock of limestone. The domaine has been under ownership of the Hocquard family since 1968, with Agnes Henry at the helm today. They have organic certification in managing their 14ha of vines. They have achieved worldwide acclaim, producing wines of structure and tension, precision and charm. Across the Blanc, Rose and Rouge the limestone lends complexity, length and cellar potential.

The wine ages 12 months in French Oak Barrels, 40% of which are new.

Carefully sorted at the winery. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks allowing slow fermentation at low temperatures.
