The 2013 Bandol Rose is an outstanding rosé that does everything right. Giving up notions of orange blossom, mineral water, rose petal and seawater, it hits the palate with a medium-bodied, fresh and focused style, yet builds with time in the glass and shows additional richness and depth. It has the freshness to stand on its own, yet will go brilliantly with food as well. Drink it over the coming year or two.

It may seem pricey for a bottle of rosé, but think of this as a great white that happens to be pink. Bandol is an impossibly pretty town to the west of Toulon whose wines are renowned. Fruit here is in the form of macerated strawberries, but it’s the swirling, complex palate of cream, spice and herbs that lift this to the realm of greatness.Hamish Anderson, The Telegraph (Jul 2014)

Domaine Tempier

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. The reds are the quintessential expression of Mourvèdre, grown on terraced vineyards on steep hills around the 'plan du Castellet'.

Traditional vinification using indigenous yeasts, the wines are aged in a variety of different sized oak (25 to 75hl) for between 18 and 20 months. These are wines which are capable of long ageing, but even young they have a finesse of fruit and earthy flavour, coupled with fine-grained tannins, which lift them above the generality of Provençal reds.
