2000 Chateau Ste Anne Bandol Rouge

Château Sainte-Anne is a 15-hectare estate in Bandol, one of Provence's top appellations, managed by Françoise Dutheil de La Rochère and her son Jean-Baptiste as a 5th generation winery. A founding member of the Association des Vins Naturels in the late 1970s, the domaine pioneered natural winemaking practices in the region. The reds are naturally fermented in stainless steel vats and aged in oak for an extended period, with minimal sulfur added at bottling, resulting in a bold and structured wine.
