A wine of light and mood. A perfume you drink. It's the wine you reach for when the light is going golden and the day lingers to dusk. It's long walks along the coast with no destination.

How it was made
A blend of Clairette, Vermentino and Ugni Blanc coming from vines that are around 40 years old. Born from soils of clay, limestone, silt and sandstone, grapes are harvested by hand. Juice come by way of direct pressing and is vinified in stainless steel cuvee.. Native yeast, aged on lees. No fining or filtration. Low intervention winemaking.
Producer
The vineyards of Domaine de la Tour du Bon sit atop a limestone plateau in Le Brûlat du Castellet, in the northwestern corner of the Bandol AOC, just about half a mile inland from the Mediterranean. Tour du Bon is one of the earliest-ripening spots in the appellation, thanks to the combination of altitude, exposure, and limestone/sandy terroir.
