Paternel Grande Réserve Red Wine Bandol 2021

The domain

The Domaine du Paternel was founded in 1943 by the Santini family, who soon owned some of the most prestigious land in the Cassis appellation. The first bottle was sold in 1951, and the Paternel was relaunched a few years later by Jean-Pierre Santini and his wife. The second generation also works in the cellar and in the vineyard, with a common passion for wine. Paternel wines are produced under three appellations: Cassis, Côtes-de-Provence and Bandol, although the estate is best known for its Cassis wines. Indeed, their parcels cover 50 hectares, or about a quarter of the appellation. As a result, this region quickly became an essential part of Provence. However, the Santini family remains committed to its values and to the natural management of the vineyard: no pesticides, as much traditional work as possible... We invite you to try the Paternel Grande Réserve Bandol Red to learn the secrets of these fantastic wines of Provence!
