Legendary Domaine Tempier: New vintages from the heart of Provence

Legendary Domaine Tempier

New vintages from the heart of Provence

We're delighted to share the new reds from a producer whose name is arguably more famous than the French appellation it helped establish in 1941 – the one, the only, Domaine Tempier from Bandol.

Their flagship, the 2021 Bandol Rouge Cuvée Classique, is a stunner and shows the greatness of the Mourvèdre grape (blended with a little bit of Grenache, Cinsault and Carignan) and the classical styling of the vintage. It abounds with red and black cherries, brambles and blackberries – complemented by earthy garrigue, savoury notes, fine-grained tannins, and a stony, smoky minerality.

As great as the Cuvée Classique is, the two famed single-vineyards, 2021 La Migoua and 2021 La Tourtine, step it up. They have a similar finesse and profile to the Classique but with added complexity and intensity. You could easily finish a bottle of these reds alongside anything to do with mushrooms, slow-roasted lamb or springbok pie.

If you’d like to try out their whole range, why not grab the Domaine Tempier Pack, which includes the super rare 2023 Bandol Blanc and their sought-after 2023 Bandol Rosé‘one of the most perfumed and complex rosé wines in France’ (Wine Advocate).
