From best plots planted by Eric Boisseaux grandfather in the early fifties.
Only the free-run juice is vinified in 350 L barrels.
Maturing on fine lies for long months with NO SO2!
yield: little production 28hl/ha

Great wine for eating.

Tasting comment:
Brilliant robe, pink salmon with pale reflections.
Nose with white flowers and hawthorn aromas evolving in light toated notes, very subtle.
“La Patience de Vannieres” has a mouth with wonderful smoothness, exceptional lenght, great finess and elegance. It shows the exceptional quality of long time aging Bandol Rose.
