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'. 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.

Tangy, mouthwatering acidity brings a vivid feel, with earth tones and streaks of saline on the graphite-rich finish. There’s a restrained approach to the oak, with a subtle waft of apple wood smoke receding in the backdrop. Give this some time. Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Grenache and Syrah. Best from 2026 through 2036.
