Deep ruby red colour, intense nose dominated by spice, truffle and undergrowth. Smooth, powerful and well-structured palate underpinned by delicate, elegant tannins. The aromas melt in the mouth to reveal nuances of blackberry, blackcurrant, licorice and pepper. Decanter before serving. An ideal partner for game, marinaded meats, spicy dishes, lamb and cheeses.
History
In 1954, Paul Bunan first read about Bandol in the news. Many years later in 1961, he and his brother began to build the foundation of the Domaine. Eight years later, Chateau la Rouviere was purchased on the opposing hillside, and then in 1978, the two brothers reconstructed the Belouve vineyards at the base of the valley. Together, these three seperate terroirs have been carefully developed, watched, and tended to by the Bunan family. Vines aat Chateau la Rouviere are grown organically on limestone marls that date back to the Upper Cretaceous period. These are some of the oldest vines of the estate and enjoy great southern exposure on the steep and terraced hillsides of Provence.
