2008 Domaine de Brigue, Cotes de Provence *
Domaine de Brigue vineyard was founded in 1970 by Roger Brun on 70 acres in the Le Luc plains between Aix-en-Provence and Cannes. In 1986, Fernand Brun and his wife Martine took over the family business and have be...en since developing the vineyards. T...oday, Domaine de Brigue vineyards extends over 200 acres on the Vieilles Pierres (Old Stones) and Terres Rouges (Red Earth) areas.
The quality of their wines results from the marriage of the grape varieties, terroirs of origin including ideal soil and exceptional Mediterranean climate, as well as state-of-the-art equipment used in the wine making process and vinification.
Brilliant and crystalline color, with a nose full of fresh peaches and wild strawberries including hints of white blossoms and spice. In the mouth, it is just as delightful with flavours of peach and cantaloupe surrounding a bright, dry, mineral acidity.
50% Grenache, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cinsault

2008 Domaine de la Bastide Blanche Bandol Blanc
La Bastide Blanche was acquired by a member of the INAO (the French board that governs wine laws and regions), Louis Bronzo, who wanted to raise the world’s awareness of Bandol wines by creating wines that were the... equals of wines from more famous ap...pellations.
Bandol was the holiday hangout of Aldous Huxley and Thomas Mann years before Bridgette Bardot had even heard of St. Tropez.
This Bandol Blanc is both steely and rich, with acidity and minerality riding alongside citrus and more tropical fruit characters. Wonderful with roasted fish or shellfish as well as mild cheeses.
Ugni blanc 32%, Clairette 47%, Bourboulenc 14%, Sauvignon Blanc 7%
