Wine Spectator
“Dark and brooding, with notes of violet and forest berries built around a pillar of simmering iron. Mesquite ash, smoked meat and singed herbs reverberate throughout the weighty palate, with polished yet muscular tannins holding everything firmly together on the steely, powerful finish. Give this time to unwind. Mourvedre, Grenache and Cinsaut. Best from 2027 through 2040. 210 cases imported.”
Highlights
Domaine Tempier Bandol Tourtine 2022
Dark, expressive of all things Provence, and delicate at the same time. Absolutely transporting if you let yourself set sail with it a bit.
If the Lulu & Lucien and Migoua bottlings epitomize the exuberant side of Tempier, the Tourtine is where the finesse really shines through. It’s delicate, refined, and ever more majestic as it opens up. This is exceptional and understated Bandol of which Lulu and Lucien would undoubtedly be proud.
Domaine Tempier Tourtine is a powerful and age-worthy red wine from Bandol, Provence, France, dominated by Mourvèdre with small amounts of Cinsault and Grenache. This cuvée reveals intense aromas of blackcurrant, black pepper, and dried herbs. The palate is dense and structured with firm tannins, ripe dark fruit, and a long, savoury finish. A wine of great depth and elegance, it exemplifies the strength and complexity of Bandol’s finest reds.
