WINEMAKER

Eric & Charles-Eric Boisseaux

An ancient domaine dating back to 1547, but more recently acquired
by Lucien Boudot, a winegrower up in Burgundy.  Today the domaine
is farmed by his grandson and great grandson Eric and Charles-Eric.
     The vineyards are largely limestone, and what first attracted us to their flagship Bandol Rosé was the way it drank almost like a great white Burgundy.  Delicate extraction with white and rosé made entirely in stainless, including a year on lees without stirring.  Reds are fermented in cement, then aged in large foudres for two years.  The result is a house style that is exceptionally poised and understated, especially from a region that is producing increasingly richer wines.
