Le Cellier de Cathedra Bandol Les Vignerons de la Cadiérenne 1997
The 1997 Le Cellier de Cathedra is an Appellation Bandol Contrôlée red wine produced by Les Vignerons de la Cadiérenne. Bottled directly at the property, this wine is vinified with a deep respect for traditional methods, highlighting the producer's dedication to classic winemaking practices.
The wine originates from Bandol, situated by the Mediterranean Sea just east of Marseille. Bandol is recognized as one of the most characterful areas within Provence, which stands as France's oldest wine region, originally founded by the Greeks in Massalia over 2,600 years ago. While Provence is globally renowned for its wine production, shaped by a sunny climate and the mistral wind, Bandol distinguishes itself as the region's serious area for red wines.
This specific wine is built around Mourvèdre, a classic Mediterranean grape variety that serves as the central pillar of Bandol's production. Mourvèdre is frequently cultivated in regions such as the Rhône, Provence, and California, and it is celebrated here as the king grape of the estate. In Bandol, it is often supplemented by other local varieties like Grenache and Cinsault, forming the foundation of the area's red wines.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Provence
Provence on the Mediterranean is France's oldest wine region, founded by the Greeks at Massalia over 2,600 years ago. The area is above all the world's rosé capital, where pale, dry rosés of Grenache, Cinsault and Mourvèdre dominate production. The sunny climate and the mistral wind give fresh, elegant wines with notes of red berries, herbs and citrus.
When this wine was made, the world looked very different. Here are some of the stories that unfolded while this bottle quietly aged in its cellar.
