The terroir in question possesses remarkable possibilities, predominantly characterized by sandy santonien marl. Its relatively moderate temperatures are predominantly utilized to enhance the crispness found in white and rosé wines. Throughout history, this terroir has been regarded as the standard for Bandol. The 2021 Bandol Blanc, primarily composed of Clairette (60%) and Ugni Blanc (30%), presents an impressive combination of ripe pears and a luscious honeyed character, complemented by lively nuances of freshly squeezed lime juice. The wine concludes with a touch of opulence harmonized by invigorating citrus zest, creating a delightful balance.

Wine Advocate
Joe Czerwinski:"Primarily Clairette (60%) and Ugni Blanc (30%), with bits of Bourboulenc, Marsanne and Rolle, the 2021 Bandol Blanc was still in tank when I visited early last year. It presents a striking juxtaposition of ripe pears and honeyed richness with brighter notes of fresh lime juice on the nose and medium-bodied palate, finishing with a sense of plush richness balanced by mouthwatering citrus zest and brine".
