A Mediterranean estate on a human scale on a limestone plateau with wide horizons. Inspired by the wisdom and strength of this nature, this place brings slowly, with circular energy, to its wines. Island impression where everything is answered.
According to local tradition, the name "Tour du Bon" comes from a Saracen tower located at the top of the hill of the Domaine. It is likely that in the Middle Ages it was a vast property of great lords who administered their lands with equity and treated their people with justice.
Originally, it was a small wine farm. In 1960 its buildings were replaced by a large bastide built with the stones extracted from the ground during the clearing of the land to plant the vines.
The Hocquard family became the owners of the Tour du Bon in 1968 and undertook major planting work.
The cellars are on one level, as is traditional in our region, and are surrounded and protected by the residential buildings. Recently, they have been redesigned and modernized to meet the requirements of an ever-increasing quality production. The air conditioning ensures a constant temperature of about 15°C all year round.
The Domaine is one of the founding members of the Bandol Appellation created fifty years ago.
