Domaine de Terrebrune

Georges Delille bought what would become Domaine de Terrebrune in 1963, a property in Ollioules, just east of Bandol. An idyllic spot dotted with olive groves and framed by the Mediterranean and the mountain called Gros-Cerveau (Big Brain.) A mass reconstruction of vineyards followed the declaration of A.O.C. Bandol (1941);  with the ambition to revive the noble Mourvèdre grape. Georges spent ten years renovating the property by terracing hillsides and replanting vineyards and by 1980, his son Reynald joined him, and together they launched their first bottled vintage of Domaine de Terrebrune, which Reynald named in honour of the rich, brown soils they farm.
