BANDOL

2019 Rosé Domaine Tempier

Grapes Grenache, Carignan, Mourvèdre, Cinsault
Colour Rosé
Origin France, Provence
Sub-district Bandol
ABV 13.5%

The 50% Mourvedre element in the Tempier rosé adds an extra dimension of depth and seriousness. Yes, we know this will all be consumed over the summer, but if you do have some left, it does age brilliantly and it's well worth 'forgetting' some. Bright and fresh and beautifully intense too, so that it will stand up to Mediterranean dishes, even those with a bit of spice. Drinking range: 2020 - 2025 L&S (May 2020)

Brilliant orange-pink. Mineral-accented red berries, blood orange and succulent flowers on the incisive nose, which takes on a succulent herb nuance with air. Densely packed yet lively in style, offering palate-staining red currant, strawberry, white peach and honeysuckle flavors that show superb definition and minerally back-end cut. Finishes extremely long and chewy, leaving vibrant floral and mineral notes behind. - Josh Raynolds Drinking range: 2021 - 2027 Rating: 93 Eric Guido, www.vinous.com (Jun 2021)

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.
