Domaine La Bastide Blanche is a family-owned estate in Sainte-Anne du Castellet, Bandol, founded in 1972 by the Bronzo family and still under their ownership. The vineyards are rooted in limestone scree in the foothills of the Sainte-Baume, not far from the Mediterranean. Certified organic since 2012 and biodynamic since 2020, the domaine works with hand-harvested fruit and very low yields, with Stéphane Bourret overseeing both vineyard management and winemaking. The estate is known for structured Bandol wines, particularly Mourvèdre-rich reds, alongside white and rosé.
