Region: Bandol, Provence, France
Varietal: Mourvèdre-led Rhône blend (Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault, Carignan)
Vintage: 2022
The Wine
From Domaine Tempier—the benchmark of Bandol wines since 1936—this cuvée honors founders Lucie (“Lulu”) and Lucien Peyraud. Aged 18–20 months in large oak foudres, the wine reflects varied clay-limestone terroirs. Fermented naturally, unfiltered and unfined, it speaks of purity blended with gravitas.
Cellared Says
Layered and resonant—violet perfume, dark cherry, underbrush and supple tannins combine in a savory, elegant expression of Mourvèdre power held in balance.
Wine Reviews
“Shows a seductive prettiness, with violet and spice box notes layered with crunchy red plum and graphite shavings, plus flickers of Mourvèdre meatiness. Salty, savory acidity buoys this along, with silky polished tannins.”
