Description

Domaine du Gros Noré, based in La Cadière-d’Azur, is one of the great names in Bandol. Winemaker Alain Pascal took over from his father in the late 1990s, transforming the family’s vineyards, once used by Château de Pibarnon, into a leading independent domaine. Working organically since the start (certified in 2020), Pascal favours minimal intervention and traditional methods. His wines are bottled without fining or filtration, and with very low sulphur. The estate is particularly prized for its Mourvèdre-based reds, but its rosé is now seen as a benchmark of the appellation, frequently compared to the legendary Domaine Tempier.

Tasting Notes

The Cuvée IX is drinking beautifully, with mature notes of truffle, liquorice and prune layered over dark fruits like blackberry and damson. With air, it reveals smoky, gamey undertones and a velvety, softly structured palate that speaks of perfectly resolved tannins and careful ageing. It’s a wine of serious depth and refinement.

How To Enjoy

Pair with rich, earthy dishes like slow-cooked duck, venison, or porcini risotto.
