Domaine de Triennes, Provence | BKWine Pick

Per Karlsson — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 08:47:00 +0000

Triennes is a property that has attracted quite a lot of attention lately although it carries the quite modest appellation of Vin de Pays du Var. But you should not be fooled by the humble origin – the wines are excellent and interesting and we would be surprised if they were not. The winery was […]

Château Vannières, Bandol | BKWine Pick

Per Karlsson — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 08:57:00 +0000

This beautiful property is in one of the best know appellations by the Mediterranean: Bandol. They have a young and dynamic winemaker, Jean-Philippe Fourney, who is continuing, and enhancing Vannières’ tradition of making excellent, full-bodied Bandol wines that often need some bottle age. Made from the interesting Mourvèdre grape variety. The property covers a total […]

Château Roubine, Provence | BKWine Pick

Britt Karlsson — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 08:50:00 +0000

Valerie and Philippe Riboud bought the beautiful Château Roubine with the adjoining 75 hectares of vineyard in 1994. Neither of them had much experience of wine growing at that time. Valerie had been working in the hotel and restaurant sector and Philippe was a sportsman (six Olympic medals in fencing!). So they had to learn […]

Château de Roquefort, winery Côtes-de-Provence | BKWine Pick

Britt Karlsson — Wed, 11 Jun 2003 13:50:10 +0000

Behind Bandol and Cassis, almost in the mountains, you find this producer where the vines grow on red clay soil mixed with limestone. It is managed with great care by Raimond de Villeneuve. He took over this family estate in 1995 and rapidly changed it to bio-dynamic production. His wines are powerful, full-bodied, with lots […]

Chateau Roubine, Provence | BKWine Pick

Britt Karlsson — Sun, 11 May 2003 15:01:27 +0000

A very interesting and ambitious producer who is not relying on bland rosés to make its reputation. A good range of wines with particularly interesting whites. And actually a good rosé made from Tibouren grapes. Prices around €10 depending on the cuvee. More info on their site www.chateau-roubine.com or on www.rivieralink.com (Swedish only). Call them […]
