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 Cuvée Collection 2020 is a Mourvèdre-led blend, supported by Grenache and Cinsault, from terraced vineyards at 200–350 m altitude. The 2020 vintage in Provence was hot and dry, requiring careful attention to preserve freshness. Grapes were hand-harvested early, sorted, destemmed, and partially left as whole berries. Fermentation took place with indigenous yeasts, with 30 days maceration to extract color and tannins. The wine aged 18 months in large oak foudres, allowing Mourvèdre’s dark fruit and garrigue notes to integrate with subtle floral and graphite tones.
