Bandol wine
The Bandol wine region, located near the coast east of Marseille and Cassis, is one of Provence's most internationally recognized wine regions. It was recognised as an AOC in 1941.[2] Built around the village of Bandol, west of Toulon, the Bandol AOC covers the production of 8 communes with silica & limestone soils. Those soils and the warm, coastal climate are ideally suited for the late ripening Mourvèdre grape which is the major variety of the region. For the red, Mourvèdre must account for at least 50% of the blend. For the rosés, Mourvèdre must account for at least 20% of the blend,[3] though most producers will use significantly more, with Grenache and Cinsaut usually filling out the rest of the wine's composition.[4]
