Since 1957, the Boisseaux family from Burgundy, produces Bandol from their 34 hectares in unusual ways.
The sole red Bandol is less marked by the imposing Mourvedre (50% balanced with Grenache and Cinsault grapes) than those from other great historic vineyards in the Bandol appellation. Older bottles are also available.
