Château Canadel is a unique site with a history dating back to Roman times, where there is evidence of a villa with an olive press and wine vats. Between the 15th and 20th century it has changed ownership just three times and in 2007 it was bought by Jacques and Caroline de Chateauvieux, who fell in love with this “paradise on earth”. They decided to revive the winery and return here from la Réunion with their family. Their daughter, Laure and her husband Vianney took to the helm of the estate in 2009; both trained at Beauvais agricultural college and spent several years accruing valuable knowledge and experience in winemaking before producing their first vintage in 2014. They practice biodynamic methods in the vineyard, prioritising soil health and seeking the purest expression of the Canadel terroir.

Clairette, Ugni Blanc and Vermentino were used to produce this white Bandol. The grapes are harvested by hand and completely destemmed and pressed after 12-24 hours of maceration. The wine both ferments and matures in vats. The nose offers up intense aromas of exotic fruits (pineapple, passion fruit), and citrus fruits in its youth. After aging, floral notes (white flowers) and honey develop. Cellar for 3 to 5 years.
