The wine:

Bandol Blanc Mas de la Rouviere is made mainly from Clairette Pointue grapes grown on south-facing terraced fields. The soil consists of lime, sand and marl. After harvesting, destemming and pressing, the must is poured into stainless steel tanks, where they ferment slowly at a controlled temperature. After six months in tanks, the wine is clarified before bottling.

Wine house:

In 1961, Paul and Pierre Bunan fell in love with a property in the Bandol region of southern France. With the strong sun, the stony soil and the dry stone walls, Bandol is ideal for viticulture both geographically and geologically. A geological fault in the subsoil allows the roots of the vines to anchor in the soil layer that was formed in the Triassic over 250 million years ago. The maritime microclimate, together with the high number of hours of sunshine per year, further contributes to the good growing conditions in the area.

Today, Paul and Pierre's children have all joined the family business in their respective fields. One takes care of the vineyards, another of communication, a third of sales and marketing and a fourth of the winemaking. The family's motto is that good wine is made when you respect the vines. Since 2009, Domaines Bunan has cultivated the vineyards without insecticides and herbicides and is today organically certified and also grows the grapes in a biodynamic manner, because as they say, a satisfied vine produces better grapes.
