Description

Tempier is the home of dark, furry and rugged reds that live for a long time. Despite the gruff exterior they are actually lovely wines that are engaging and charming. Outstanding Rose is made here and the whites too if you can find them. The wines are so amazing I named my cat after them! The region of Bandol is often over looked but the wines have the potential to be some of the best in France. Mourvedre dominant, tough but with a surprising elegance and purity.

Dark fruits, minerals, hung meats, pepper, brown earth. Very dense and intense with lighter hints at cherries and rose petals. The wine has big tannins but the core is pure and rich. It is delicious right now but will reward much longer in the cellar. Leave for 15 years easily. This requires roasted red meats and lots of it.

Bandol – The wines of Bandol are something special. Tannic red, saline rosé and surprisingly delicate whites always impress an eager palate. This particular patch of Provence has more then its fair share of great producers and is hard to find only by the fact that the wines tend to sell out rather quickly.

Mourvedre (Monastrell) – Also known as Mourvedre in France and Mataro in the new world. It is known for making a muscular, tannic, meaty, savoury wine. It is often the backbone of a blend but in places like Alicante, Jumilla and Yecla it is the major if not only variety in the red wine. Aging can vary depending on winemaker influence.
