The Story

Château Canadel’s Bandol is made exclusively from mourvèdre, cinsault, grenache, and syrah grown on their organically-farmed estate vineyards, located on a unique terroir in the hamlet of Le Plan du Castellet, within the famed terraces of Bandol. The vineyards of Canadel are planted on a geological anomaly, the inversion of soil layers from the birth of the Alps, known as the Renversement du Beausset. This event resulted in the Triassic layer (200 million years old) flipping on top of the Cretaceous layer (65 million years old) due to the subduction of a tectonic plate, which has surfaced the oldest rock outcroppings in the whole of the appellation.

Canadel is focused on making soulful, broad-spectrum, cinematic red wines befitting of the Bandol appellation. Only organic viticulture, and some biodynamic principles, are used in their vineyard, with all work done by hand on the terraces. All movement in the winery is by gravity flow, and wines are bottled unfiltered.

About Chateau Canadel

Producer Story

Château Canadel is a small, family-owned estate with 15ha of prime vineyards on a unique terroir, located in the hamlet of Le Plan du Castellet, within the famed terraces of Bandol. The property consists of a small village of historic houses, built around a chapel and ancient water canals, dating back to the 13th century. These canals gave the estate its name, which evolved over time: Canal d’eau became Canadeau, and finally Canadel.
