The Domaine de Fregate is a most modest team. With the Hotel Dolce de Fregate (the nearest to Bandol) in the late 80s the hotel and golf course there was constructed (it's 3D golf being so hilly and I believe on the pga circuit) which was completed in 1992.

The first inaugural shot on the golf course was none less than Alan Shepard himself. Second man in space, first American in space, also in Apollo 14.

Who played golf on the moon.

So cool, super cool(!) and when I say modest this is in absolutely none of the Hotel promotional whatsoever. Not their genre I guess!

The long lost Bandol Wine Festival came back last weekend after a 5 year break. No longer the new wine presentation of the millesime wines but a presentation of what Bandol can do, and for sale!
Since it's no longer the millesime wines can we move it to a warmer month though?!??
Brrr!

Hmm. It's also incredibly hot at this time of year for the pickers, as all Bandol wine has to be hand-picked. They start at 4am and are done by lunchtime. This has been the story for centuries.

🍇Les vendanges 2024 ont commencé dans le vignoble Côtes de Provence.🚜
Les vendanges de nuit🌛 sont pratiquées particulièrement pour les vins blancs et rosés.
Cette pratique est utilisé pour ramasser des raisins plus froid ⛄que pendant la journée. Cela permet de préserver des arômes qualitatifs et de mieux maitriser la couleur du vin (principalement rosé).
L'impact de la température plus élevée des raisins va intensifier la couleur🟡🟠🔴 du rosé, ce que les producteurs ne souhaitent pas. Des températures plus fraiches❄️ feront révéler des arômes plus fin, délicats et de fruits frais🍊🍋🍐🍑. Le but est aussi d'éviter l'oxydation des fruits.
Aussi la vinification sera "faciliter" puisque la maitrise des températures est primordiale pendant la fermentation alcoolique.
Ce mode de vendange est arrivé depuis plusieurs années en Provence et est lié à aux changements climatiques ;+de chaleur pendant plus longtemps; donc précocité de la maturité et vendange pendant des période de canicule. ☀️😓
☀️ Bonne dégustation 🥂

I've developed a huge passion for Bandol Wine over so many years with its magnificent reds and the best rosé in the world, and also a huge respect for the amazing families that devote their lives to this natural organic hand-picked miracle.

Good write up!

Good write up!

Bandol French rosé wines from the Mourvèdre grape have a rich texture and evocative colors in contrast to pale dry Provençal rosés like Whispering Angel
