At the head of a small production, Agnès Hocquard-Henry watches over her 15 hectares of Bandol like a she-wolf, formulating wines of rare finesse and suppleness. At her Domaine de la Tour du Bon, the Mourvèdre grape variety is at its most beautiful form, drawing the necessary energy and freshness from seaside terroirs, mainly limestone and sandy soils.
The success is undeniable, and can be tasted in white, red and rosé wines. These are bottles of great personality that age harmoniously with delicate tannins.
