Domaine Lafran-Veyrolles Bandol Tradition is a bold, expressive red wine from one of the most celebrated estates in Provence. Crafted from a classic southern French blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, this is Bandol at its most characterful, combining layered complexity with a velvety, approachable texture.

Meet the Producer

Domaine Lafran-Veyrolles is widely recognised as one of the top three estates in Bandol, boasting superb terroir and a long-standing commitment to quality. Managed by Jean-Marie Castel, the domaine blends traditional winemaking techniques with modern, temperature-controlled facilities, bringing a meticulous approach to every stage of production.

Vineyard and Production

Vineyards are worked manually, with organic-inspired weed and pest control. Grapes are hand-picked, left un-destemmed, and gently crushed before fermenting for 15 to 21 days in temperature-controlled vats. The wine then matures in large oak barrels for 18 to 24 months, before being bottled without filtration or fining and cellared until the following spring to ensure refinement and depth.

Tasting Notes

A vibrant nose of bay leaves and menthol leads to wild, crunchy bramble fruits, redcurrant, and subtle bracken. The palate is rich and velvety, with layered complexity and a long, harmonious finish.

Grape Variety

Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre

Perfect Pairings

Pairs beautifully with meatballs in rich tomato sauce, prime pink beef, or mushroom risotto with roasted garlic. An excellent companion to slow-roasted lamb and hearty Mediterranean dishes.
