For two centuries, Domaine de l’Olivette has been under the loving protection of one family. After perfecting their wines based on local traditions of the region, they not only qualify for the AOC Bandol, but surpass the strict requirements for the designation.
Yield is deliberately kept low, at 40 hectoliters per hectare, enabling the wine to fully blossom and keep all its fragrance, body, and flavor.
At the same time, the family has not neglected keeping up-to-date with technology and aiming at new heights in expressing all the characteristics of their exceptional terroir. Temperature-controlled facilities complement the work of the oak barrels, while computerization of production data works alongside human know-how and skills, all under the watchful eye of the estate’s oenological laboratory.
Vintage after vintage, generation after generation, the character of the Domaine de l’Olivette wines continues to blossom.
