“A burst of fragrant violet and dried lavender introduces this layered, fresh red. Shows textural complexity, with finely hewn tannins that will go the distance in the cellar; try to resist the urge to drink this now. Theres beautiful purity to the fruit, detailed with singed sage, thyme and rosemary. Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan. Best from 2027 through 2038. 1,100 cases imported.”

Domaine Tempier Bandol Rouge Lulu and Lucien 2023 1.5 Liter Magnum

A blend of all three single vineyards and other vineyards that Tempier owns within the Bandol appellation. All grapes are harvested by hand. After de-stemming, grapes are fermented with natural yeast and vinified for 2 to 3 weeks in stainless steel. After maceration is finished and must is pressed, the wine is moved to oak foudres for malolactic fermentation. Aged in oak foudres (25 to 50 hl) for 18 to 20 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

The three single-vineyards of Domaine Tempier are: La Migoua, La Tourtine, and Cabassaou. All are made up of clay and limestone, but there are variations in each. La Migoua is made up of heterogeneous clay that varies in color between red, ochre, and blue. At 270 meters, it sits at the highest altitude of all the vineyards. The parcel’s complex sedimentation is largely due to the subduction of a tectonic plate which has surfaced the oldest rock outcroppings in the whole of the appellation. Surrounded by garrigue and pine forest, the grapes translate to earthy, gamey wines. La Migoua has the smallest amount of Mourvèdre in the blend, with the highest percentage of Grenache of the three cuvées. La Tourtine sits just above Cabassaou. The soil here is more homogeneous, with rich clay. La Tourtine produces powerful, tannic wines with gorgeous fruit character. Since Cabassaou sits lower on this hillside, it is protected from the strength of the Mistral, enjoying temperate breezes and maximum sunshine. There is ripeness, density and power in these wines.
