Domaine Tempier Bandol 'Tourtine' 2018

‘La Tourtine’ is muscular, savory, and loaded with flavors of ripe blackberries, cassis, cracked pepper, graphite, and fresh cut herbs. Fruit comes from a 5-hectare plot of 40+ year old vines, situated just above the Cabassaou vineyard. Here, soils rich in clay and limestone lead to a powerful, structured wine loaded with robust tannins and bright. 

Domaine Tempier is a contemporary Provençal legend. The estate’s modern-day history dates back to 1936, when Lucien and Lulu Tempier were given the farm by Lulu’s father on their wedding day. Today, the estate farms all of their fruit organically and produces bold, earth-driven wines that can undoubtedly withstand the test of time.
