Description / History

In 2015 Château Val d’Arenc from Bandol went fully organic. It was the hiring of Gérald Damidot that made the change. He implemented new methods in the vineyard to further improve the potential.

The estate consists of 25ha vineyard divided into 30 plots. All are located on the same hill; Beausset-Vieux.
Gérald produces beautiful red, white and rosé wines. Reds are based on Mourvédre, Grenache noir, Syrah and Cinsault. Clairette, Sauvignon blanc, Rolle for and Ugni blanc are making up the whites. The wines have received several great awards, achieving great results from several indsutry leaders.
