Domaine rests atop a limestone plateau in Le Brûlat du Castellet, in the northwestern corner of the A.O.C. Bandol. Hocquard family has been farming this land since 1968, currently run by Agnès Henry. Tried ‘14 &’15 together. A blend of about 75% Mourvèdre with the rest Grenache, Cinsault & Carignan. Deep red with dark berry fruit and spice aromas. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black pepper & herb spice. Fine tannins, lingering with a fragrant ending. Consistent quality. Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago
Served by the glass in the Restaurant Christophe Bacquié at the Hotel du Castellet (Var). Super wine, fruit forward but with Bourguignon typicity. Highly recommended. — 8 years ago

Le Castellet ‘Les Galets’ Bandol Rosé 2020: Light-bodied. Medium-acidity. Rich flavors. Deep salmon in color with strawberry & watermelon notes. Dry crisp finish. This was an elegant & harmonious blend of 52% Mourvèdre, 26% Cinsault & 22% Grenache leaving me wanting another sip every time I attempted to put the glass down. All in all, this Bandol rosé was fantastic. Have a great day! Cheers🍷 — 3 years ago
