Bandol Terrebrune (Domaine de) 2016

About the Producer Domaine de Terrebrune

Nature’s alchemy in a glass offering a Provençal journey with each sip. For lovers of age-worthy wines, Domaine de Terrebrune offers something rare: reds, whites and rosés of striking minerality and saline precision, almost crystalline in their expression. A fine work of art.
Acquired in 1968, Terrebrune lies at the south-eastern edge of the Bandol appellation, in the commune of Ollioules in Provence. Here, at the heart of this 35-hectare vineyard, a philosophy of respect and harmony with nature is implemented daily. Naturally, the vines are organically cultivated in full accordance with certified methods. They thrive in a mosaic of marl, clay and limestone soils, imparting the wines with an unmistakable distinct character. The reds carry a vivid freshness that lifts and balances the iconic strength of southern wines. As for the whites and rosés, these are cuvées crafted to age gracefully, evolving even up to a decade.
Founded by Georges Delille, who passed away in 2021, the estate is now in the hands of his son Reynald, who co-owns it alongside Jean d’Arthuy. Every year, almost 120,000 bottles are produced under the capable hands of Jean d’Arthuys, with wines made from Grenache noir, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre in red, and Marsanne, Rolle, Ugni blanc, Bourboulenc, and Clairette in white.
