Château Sainte Anne is a historic 15‑hectare estate in Bandol, Provence, managed by Françoise Dutheil de la Rochère and her son Jean‑Baptiste Dutheil. The vineyards are planted on steep terraced slopes of calcareous sandstone and clay‑limestone soils, facing southeast toward the Mediterranean. Many Mourvèdre vines are 35‑85 years old, alongside Grenache and Cinsault. Farming has been organic and biodynamic since the 1960s, and the estate is a founding member of the Association des Vins Naturels. Harvesting is by hand, fermentations are spontaneous, red wines are aged long, sulphur use is minimal, and many cuvées are bottled unfined and unfiltered. Historic vaulted stone cellars built by the Oratory Fathers in the 16th century coexist with modern cellar facilities.
Bandol Rosé 2023 is made predominantly by saignée from Mourvèdre and Grenache. The vintage featured early budburst, warm days, and cooler Mediterranean nights. Maceration lasted 12–18 hours to extract delicate colour and aromatics, followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and two months of lees contact. The wine shows strawberry, watermelon rind, citrus, and saline notes, with a fresh and lively palate.
