The Wine

Tourtine is the classic soul of Bandol, with its full body, deep purple trim, and hints of plums, truffles, and ripe black cherries. Locals like to say that Mourvèdre is happiest when facing the sea, and you can taste that it couldn’t be any happier than on this slope it shares with olive trees, looking down toward the city of Bandol and its old port that gave the region its name. Tempier single vineyards, especially from concentrated vintages such as 2023, live long and age with grace. Enjoy them now, for sure, but put some aside as well. Perhaps you’ll thank me when you pop a cork in 2055! Chris Santini, KLWM

About the Wine Maker

This is Bandol at its very best: rich, profound and very long lasting.’  Clive Coates

When Lucie “Lulu” Tempier married Lucien Peyraud in 1936, her father gave them Domaine Tempier, an active farm that had been in the family since 1834, near Le Plan du Castellet, just outside the Mediterranean seaport village of Bandol. Tasting a pre-phylloxera bottle of Domaine Tempier Bandol (a wedding gift from his father-in-law) inspired Lucien to research the terroir of Bandol extensively. Up until that point, old vineyards planted with Mourvèdre had been systematically replanted to higher-yielding varietals. However, more research not only showed its historical roots to the area, but the grape proved to be more resistant to oxidation, producing wines with great aging potential. By 1941, with the assistance of neighboring vignerons, Lucien worked with the I.N.A.O. (Institut National des Appellations d’Origines) to establish Bandol as its own A.O.C. Needless to say, large-scale replanting of Mourvèdre ensued, and Bandol now requires a fifty percent minimum in all reds. Lucien will forever be celebrated as the Godfather of Bandol, but also as the man who revived Mourvèdre to its former glory. Raising deep and structured wines of such refinement and longevity has made Domaine Tempier truly a grand cru de Provence. Kermit Lynch

Tempier has entered a new phase in its evolution with the appointment of Daniel Ravier as winemaker. Daniel comes to the Domaine with extensive experience in the Bandol region.
