Long the driving force of the Bandol appellation, 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. The Domaine, owned by the Tempier family since 1834, is focusing on producing exceptional wines with a great ageing potential.
'One of the great benchmarks for rose in the galaxy.
Pale pink gold colour. Perfume is straight away refreshing, ruby grapefruit citrus, scents of wet slate and faint ‘rose hip tea’ thing. The palate is sweet-sour cherry spectrum-flavoured with a sense of ‘tart’ but refreshing. Generally very delicate fruit character, though some quiet complexity in lees-yeast-savoury characters too. It shows some spice and finishes fresh. An understated, fine boned style. Drink: 2018-2024.'
94/100 - Mike Bennie, winefront.com
Pale peach skin colour. Intensely perfumed, mineral- and spice-accented aromas of fresh red berries and citrus fruits are complemented by building peach and floral qualities. Silky, focused and dry, offering concentrated yet lithe pit fruit, strawberry and blood orange flavours that show outstanding clarity and tension. Expands steadily on a very long, focused finish that leaves a sexy floral note behind. vinous.com
