This famous appellation covers a small area of 1325 hectares of vines which enjoy exceptionally high sunshine hours.
The prestigious "Vins de Bandol" appellation groups 53 independent growers situated
in the neighbouring districts of Bandol, (no property is actually situated in
Bandol district itself). The deep reds, generally aged in oak barrels are responsible
for the success of this appellation and represent 40 % of the harvest.
The excellent fresh, young rosés which appear almost orange in colour represent
55 % and the lively, nervous whites 5% of the harvest.
The agreement of the wine-growers to produce a small quantity of high quality wine, together with the ideal weather conditions have contributed to the international reputation of the wines from Bandol.
First Sunday in December : "Fête du millésime" at Bandol.
In September : Wine festival at La
Cadière
