2024 Domaine Tempier, Bandol Rouge, Lulu & Lucien - Magnum

Domaine Tempier is a historic estate located in the Bandol appellation, where the Peyraud family has stewarded their vineyards and promoted local traditions since settling at their 1834 bastide in 1940. This wine is made from a blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault, and Carignan, sourced from a mosaic of organically farmed, limestone-rich vineyard sites across the region. In the glass, it shows deep dark fruit, notes of garrigue, and a savory, earthy character, all supported by a firm, structured texture. The 2024 vintage delivers an exuberant and juicy profile that remains balanced by a hearty finish. This magnum is ready to enjoy after a short decant, though it possesses the structural integrity to reward those who choose to cellar it further.
