Domaine Tempier is an old family estate, owned by the Peyrauds since Lucien Peyraud married Lucie Tempier in 1936. The family was largely instrumental in getting the appellation of Bandol established in 1941. Famous for their Mourvedre based reds which are quintessential expression of that rustic, earthy grape – grown on terraced vineyards on steep hills, Tempier is the standard bearer for the region.
The Rose is amongst the best, while the reds are noteworthy for their collectibility and ageworthiness. (Even the rose can last decades!) We only have a six pack of some of these. Fine-grained tannins, lovely fruit and the trademark earthiness and minerality are a must for every wine enthusiast.
We only have a six pack of some of these so don’t wait too long, they’ll be gone till next year.
