The location and terrain of Jean-Christophe Comor‘s estate is so perfect to him that he named it Domaine des Terres Promises (the promised land!). Perched 400 meters above and 30km back from the Mediterranean this is a site that, since antiquity, has proven ideal. The whole estate is over clay/limestone and the altitude allows the 20+ indigenous varieties to ripen slowly, while they retain all the freshness of acidity Jean-Christophe (and we) crave. He is so enamored with his terroir that he refers to working here as “a privilege”. Since his debut vintage in 2004 Jean-Christophe has consistently produced exceptional, polished, totally natural wines that drink with such pleasant texture that we think of them as perfect introductions to the cornucopia of wines from Provence that exist outside of the famous, fabled Bandol with its sun-tan-lotion rosés and cut-with-a-knife reds.
