A perfect, juicy fruit that is like catnip to birds. They eat it, and the seeds within, then fly to a different location and take a crap along the way. That crap has grape seeds in it, and is already fertilized by the crap! If that's not divine intervention, I don't know what is. Ok, so we've established that wine is next to godliness, correct? Now let's establish the fact that this vineyard and winery is also heaven sent! As soon as you roll in through their front gates and look across the vineyards you know you're in the right place. Then as you walk inside and sample their wine you know you you've stumbled upon something special, something angelic even! I know, I know, hyperbole much? Ok, guilty as charged. It's just that wine puts a smile on everyone's face, and this place, paired with the wine they produce is seriously something special. Their rose is something to write home to mom about. Primarily of the Grenache varietal, it's light, fruity and refreshing. A solid wine to drink by itself, or pair it with some fish or salads. I'm tellin' ya, if you find yourself wandering about the French Riviera and in the mood for a quick winery tour and tasting, add this place to your list. You'll be glad you did.

We went at 4pm for an English speaking group tour. The woman, I forget her name but she is one of the owners, was LOVELY. She really talked in depth about the wines and you could tell this was truly her passion. We ended up tasting 3 wines that day; a red, white and a rose. Since it was our honeymoon she only charged us for 1 tasting, SO sweet!! Highly recommend coming here. It is a family run winery and you can really tell they love what they do.

And finally after 45 minutes could order more wine, plus some food. The charcuterie board was a work of art. We ordered scallops but a can of mussels came? We had an 7:30pm reso. Food arrived after 10 (we ordered nothing that required actual cooking). Again this is France, we are in zero hurry, but we would have spent so much more money if they were attentive and asked if you would like more wine. Instead we went mostly dry. Bill came a half hour after asking for it. Come for the views and a drink then leave is my advice.

Lovely lady, very kindly put up with my terrible French, walked me through the wines, showed me the vineyard and shared stories with me. Not snobbery at all, just a friendly passionate person. All her wines are fantastic. The Rose is widely reviewed as one of the top 5 in Provence. Could taste that; it's neither as saline heavy as many other Provence rose, nor is it a candy store fruit basket. Stuck in the middle, complex, enjoyable. The white is from a plot they just bought with a completely different soil composition. It's so light and delicate. You think it would be an insult to say it drinks like water, but it's like flowery, melon-y, peachy water. So good. So refreshing. The red is also excellent. Drank the '14 and '15. Both are well balanced. '15 is a little more fruit forward, but mellowed by 18 months in oak. '14 is more. Dark, brooding. Bought a bottle to carry home. To get there: I Hiked out to Bandol wine country from the train station (Beautiful, but highly recommend catching the bus from the train station or renting a car... it's far). Beautiful Rocky Mountains (the last of the Alps) and vines upon vines make up the view. You pass a charming high school and beyond that is the Chateau. They have 60 acres of grapes, and the majority are gathered around the house.
