Domaine de Frégate
Located on the Mediterranean Sea between the towns of St Cyr/Mer in Bandol, Domaine de Frégate is exposed to the south and west, ensuring an ideal climate for regular and complete maturation of its grapes. The 30-hectare estate is planted on clay and calcareous soils that are dry and rocky. The result is a harmonious wine that is characteristically bold but maintains a mild finish. The varieties of grapes used are Mourvèdre, Grenache and Cinsault giving both the red and rosé wines the characteristics very typical of the Bandol appellation.
