Salty iron minerality leads, a foundation for notes of red plum and black licorice. Complex and burly, with tightly coiled power, yet this shows elegance too. 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. Drinking range: 2026 - 2036 Rating: 93 The Wine Spectator, www.winespectator.com (Apr 2026)

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.

Yes, this is a bit of a price for a Provence red, but Sylvain's top cuvée, a pure Syrah, is quite a wine. Aged 2 years in new barrels, but the wood is initially undetectable. Dark in colour, spicy and dense with e...(read more)
