Moulin de la Roque Le Castellet Bandol Rouge
Tasting Note
A blend of 95% Mourvèdre and 5% Carignan. The wine is aged for the obligatory 18 months in oak barrels before bottling. It is usual for the wine to enjoy further extended bottle ageing before release.
Producer
In 1950, the co-operative cellars in Saint-Cyr, Sanary-sur-Mer and Cadière -d’Azur amalgamated to create Moulin de la Roque, within a disused 16th Century flour mill. In 2006, the cellar was joined by Les Maitres Vignerons du Beausset. By 2012, a new cellar at the foot of the fortified village of La Cadière d’Azur had been constructed. Vinification remains at the original moulin cellar, with all blending, ageing and bottling conducted at the new facility.
With 200 members, holdings of some 313 hectares of vines, representing some 20% of the whole Bandol appellation, Moulin de la Roque is a formidable force in maintaining the reputation for what is the regions most celebrated wine.
The addition of Les Maitres Vignerons du Beausset cellar saw the introduction of vineyards within the Côtes de Provence appellation to the range. These now account for 20% of the cellar’s total production.
