Chateau Ste Anne Bandol Rouge 2013

Chateau Sainte Anne is a family run estate located on the Bandol appellation, in the heart of Provence. Their vineyard benefits from a complex soil composition (dry limestone mixed with white sand allowing a very deep drainage) and a specifie micro-climate with cool nights allowing the local variety, Mourvèdre, to reach perfect ripeness.   The growing season sees striking heat in summer, heavy rain in fall, powerful winds (Mistral) and a strong maritime influence. This brings all necessary elements for our grapes to offer the best expression of our terroir. Grapes are vinified in white, rosé and red wines. The necessary 18 months of wood ageing (50 hl large oak tanks) brings silky and smooth tannins to our red wines.
