Domaine TEMPIER
La Tourtine

Domaine iconique et historique à Bandol, aux mains de la famille Tempier depuis près de 2 siècles. C'est Lucien Peyraud, mari de Lucie Tempier, qui, à partir de 1945 et en tant que Président des vins de Bandol, se battit pour imposer le mourvèdre (minimum 50%) dans l'appellation. Les rouges du domaine réussissent, en dépit de leur concentration et de leur puissance naturelles, à rester distingués, raffinés et harmonieux, tout en possédant une tenue à la garde digne des plus grands vins rhodaniens.

Noté trois étoiles dans le Guide de la Revue du Vin de France.

The Tempier estate produces just one Bandol blanc from 5 hectares of vines in the coolest and latest-ripening parts of their vineyard. With a predominance of Clairette (60 per cent), their white wine is bright and expressive, with a hint of exotic notes in its aromatic profile (mango and lychee).

An iconic and historic Bandol estate, in the hands of the Tempier family for nearly 2 centuries. It was Lucien Peyraud, husband of Lucie Tempier, who, from 1945 onwards and as President of Bandol wines, fought to impose Mourvèdre (minimum 50%) in the appellation. Despite their natural concentration and power, the estate's reds are distinguished, refined and harmonious, with an ageing potential worthy of the greatest Rhône wines.

Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

Cuvée Lulu et Lucien, named after the Tempier family's forebears, is the estate's classic cuvée, a blend of the estate's different terroirs (the famous 'restanques', clay-limestone terraces overlooking the Mediterranean), vines aged 30 years or more, 75% Mourvèdre.
