Details
70% Alicante Bouschet and 30% Cinsault. This is quite a serious number, with plenty of earthy character, notes of red spice and gamey meat. Complex and delicious, enjoy the red and black berry fruit interlacing with those meaty tones.

Perched in the idyllic hills of Bandol, Domaine les Luquettes embodies the rugged charm of Provence with a touch of elegance. Here, the sunshine-soaked terraces are dedicated to Mourvèdre, the king of Bandol’s reds, along with a touch of Grenache and Cinsault, creating wines that seem to capture the very essence of the Mediterranean. The reds are bold yet nuanced, brimming with rich black fruit, aromatic herbs, and a hint of wild spice that lingers like a warm Provençal breeze. Meanwhile, Domaine les Luquettes’ rosé is an absolute delight — pale, dry, and loaded with notes of fresh peach and subtle sea-salt minerality. Their secret? A mix of traditional practices and careful organic farming, allows the vines to speak for themselves while respecting the land they grow on. The result? Wines with real personality, from the crispness of the rosé to the deep, earthy complexity of their reds. Domaine les Luquettes is a true Bandol classic, balancing tradition with a vibrant energy, making each sip a pleasure.

Pairing guide
This is a serious wine, with loads of dense fruit and a lovely soft texture. It really lends itself to pairing with rich red meat dishes that have a kick of spice to them, so think things like beef Massaman curry, roast lamb with star anise, or a restaurant-quality dish of venison with chocolate and beetroot. It also really loves meaty vegetable dishes, like szechuan eggplant or roast pumpkin, so play around with it and don't be afraid of flavour!

Wine region
Provence, France
Provence is a wine region in southeastern France best known for its delicious rosé wines and beautiful beaches. It's also home to a number of protected wine appellations, such as the Côtes de Provence AOC and the Bandol AOC, which produce some of the best rosé wines in the world. Located on the Mediterranean Sea, this region has a warm and sunny climate, with long, hot summers and mild, wet winters. The landscape is filled with rolling hills, and picturesque villages on a gorgeous coastline, making it a holiday hub for many - sand in your toes, and rosé on the beach, anyone? But if rosé isn't your thing, the region also produces white and red wines, predominantly made from a variety of grape varieties, including Grenache, Syrah, and Cinsault. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a fun and relaxing vacation, Provence has something for everyone.
