The story of Domaine Castell-Reynoard
In the Var, in the heart of Provence and the Bandol appellation, lies the family estate Castell-Reynoard, now run by Julien Castell, the fourth generation. In 1988 his father Jean-Marie produced and sold the estate's first bottles. Born among the vines, Julien took over in 2010 with one goal: to move the estate towards biodynamics.
With 8 hectares, cellars and family home included, it's one of the smallest estates in Bandol, but of undeniable quality. The vineyard, mostly old vines on clay-limestone soils, enjoys a fine exposure and the sea's influence. Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault, Clairette and Carignan are grown here.
The estate combines biodynamics, agroforestry and market gardening: herbal teas and natural treatments, the lunar calendar, ploughing with a horse, to protect and develop biodiversity. In the vineyard as in the cellar, Julien keeps human intervention to a minimum to preserve the natural harmony between vine and terroir, making atypical wines that taste of Bandol.
The cuvées of Domaine Castell-Reynoard
A Bandol fan? You're in the right place. In red, Cœur de Vigne is a frank Mourvèdre Bandol, pure, with preserved fruit, to drink now or keep. Clos Castell is a deep, complex, elegant Mourvèdre, a great wine for ageing.
For Carignan lovers, Pur Ju blends it with a little Alicante for a fresh, versatile wine with a slightly wild character, and L'Esprit du Vivant gives a superb expression of it, ripe, spicy and very digestible.
The For my Dad range comes in three colours. The white, a light maceration of Clairette and Rolle, gains complexity while staying very pure. The rosé, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Grenache, has a slightly oxidative style and phenomenal length: a Bandol rosé off the beaten track! There's also a red, also in magnum.
Lovely natural Provence wines that reflect the Bandol terroir, perfectly crafted by Julien Castell.
