Domaine Bunan — Winery in La Cadière-d'Azur

As far as I'm concerned, Bandol produces the best rosés in the world. The area is stunning and well worth a visit. Domaine Bunan itself is worth visiting too, and the nice thing about Domaine Bunan is that the wines are very affordable, certainly compared with the well-known names in the area. The three terroirs, Moulin des Costes, Château la Rouvière and Bélouvé, each offer a unique setting. Moulin des Costes produces powerful, balanced wines from old Mourvèdre and Grenache vines. Château la Rouvière, with its narrow terraces and sun-facing slopes, gives sturdy reds with exceptional ageing potential. Bélouvé, in a calmer microclimate, produces elegant, fresh Côtes de Provence wines. All the grapes are harvested by hand. No chemical weed control, no synthetic treatments: everything is worked by hand. You can book various tours and tastings through the website.

A walk past the grape collection, cellars and winery ends with a tasting of the Bandol wines; the estate is also open on Sundays.
