Domaine Mas Thérèse is implanted at the very heart of the Bandol regional appellation, in the small village of Sainte Anne du Castellet to be precise. This estate was founded in 1908 by Thérèse Gantelme. Since then, her descendants have been tending to the vineyards from one generation to the next for more than a century in her memory.

Tasting
Very pale smooth pink colour. Expressive nose, reminiscent of yellow flesh fruits and citrus fruit. The mouthfeel is round and generous, with flavours of cherries and exotic fruits. Very elegant wine, thanks to a delicate balance between minerality, liveliness and warmth.
