Domaine Tempier Bandol 'La Tourtine' 2023

Domaine Tempier Bandol 'La Tourtine' is a powerful, structured red from the Bandol appellation on France's Provençal coast, built primarily around old-vine Mourvèdre.

Bandol is one of France's oldest wine appellations, its steep limestone-clay terraces above the Mediterranean giving Mourvèdre the warmth and drainage it needs to ripen fully. Domaine Tempier, long stewarded by the Peyraud family, played a central role in reviving Bandol's reputation during the twentieth century and remains one of the appellation's most respected estates, farming its vineyards with a traditional, low-intervention approach. La Tourtine is one of the domaine's celebrated single-vineyard cuvées, sourced from a distinct parcel prized for its concentration and ageing potential.

This is a serious, age-worthy red suited to slow-cooked meats and hearty Provençal fare, and one that rewards patience in the cellar.
