La Bastide Blanche, Bandol Blanc, Provence, France, 2024

Producer Profile

Stéphane Bourret and his team have improved La Bastide wines’ quality beyond recognition.

Despite the pressure of the many tourists ready to buy almost anything at any price, he has chosen a path of quality and hard work. All of the 28 hectares estate is now run using biodynamic methods and the results are a joy to behold, with many of their wines awarded great accolades in the national and international wine press. ‘Estagnol’ is produced from their best vineyards and improves after 3 or 4 years cellaring.
