Originating from Burgundy, Eric is using his innate winegrower’s skill to adapt his techniques to much drier conditions in order to produce wines with unique personality, structural excellence and yet elegance.
In just a few words Eric describes the landscape thus: “the origin of Château Vannières and Bandol is a magical place of clay and limestone soils where olive trees, cypress and stone pines grow. Also, the ‘Big Blue’ sea sculpts creeks and carves deep abrupt and white inlets into the coast nearby. Finally, in the background blows the Mistral, our majestic wind that moves the area into a whirl of fascination.” In the vineyard Eric chooses to work with organic practices. No chemicals or synthetic products are used. Eric and his son Charles-Eric are producing wines in the traditional excellence of French winemaking: “I make wine to serve at the dining table or simply to drink well on its own and enjoy”.
