2022 Chateau Ste Anne Bandol Blanc

Château Ste Anne Bandol Blanc is a rare white wine from a region famed for its reds, offering a beautifully balanced expression of southern Provençal freshness and depth. Produced from Clairette and Ugni Blanc grapes, the wine is directly pressed then fermented over indigenous yeasts and aged in stainless steel vats to preserve its fresh, crisp acidity. It is assembled and bottled without fining or filtration. The wine reflects the maritime influence and limestone-rich soils of the Bandol terroir, wrapped around a core of savory minerality and vibrant acidity.
