Item Description
Mainly Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault. Crunchy and complex, rich, full and ripe but also precise and extremely elegant. With no doubt, it is the wine for several decades. ~winery notes

Bandol which, like all our Crus, is based on a several terroirs blend of the appellation. Thus, the deep wines from Chemin de l’argile are associated to the limestone scree of Saint Cyr. At the Far East, in Sainte Anne d’Evenos – the coolest area which most benefits from the maritime air inlet – we have selected a wine which brings freshness and distinction. Bandol and Mourvedre are always linked: this grape variety finds its finest expression in that region. The outstanding fullness of its ripe and deep tanins is balanced by Grenache softness and the spellbinding fruit of the wines from of the very old vines of Cinsault.

Hecht & Bannier is at the forefront of a revolution in quality in the diverse appellations of Roussillon, Languedoc and Provence. From Côtes du Roussillon Villages to Languedoc Red to Côtes de Provence Rosé, each of Hecht & Bannier’s wines is typically based on 5-10 different parcels found to be of exceptional quality. These blends are then vinified and bottled to best represent each appellation in the range.
About Hecht & Bannier
HECHT & BANNIER
Country: France Region: South of France Hecht & Bannier
Formed in 2002, Hecht et Bannier produces wines that are reference points for the Roussillon, Languedoc and Provence. Founders Gregory Hecht and François Bannier note: "To conserve the typical Mediterranean strength in our wines while preserving balance and crispness, this is our mantra for all the appellations we produce." This cutting-edge firm is one of the south's most exciting projects in recent memory, and promises to be a formidable player with dramatic impact in the region.

All Hecht & Bannier crus are aged for two years in large, traditional "Demi Muids" (600L) wood barrels that insure preservation of fruit quality and impart "resistance" to the wines allowing them to age well. A portion of each wine is aged in neutral concrete vats to focus the expression of fruit and appellation.

The Wine Advocate June 30th, 2011, noted: "Gregory Hecht and François Bannier's are living up to the challenge they set themselves, namely to render, as négociants...wines that can stand comparison with those of each respective appellation's top estates."
