"Domaine Tempier is located in Provence in the Bandol appellation. The estate was established in 1830 but fully revealed itself under the influence of Léonie Tempier in 1885 when she won a Gold Medal for her red wine made from Mourvèdre.
  
In 1941, Bandol became an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, one of whose regulations is to produce wines with a minimum of 50% Mourvèdre, and 18 months of barrel aging for red wines. Today, Domaine Tempier cultivates vines using sustainable agriculture in three communes and produces four wines.
  
The estate's signature cuvée combines the discreet power of Bandol with the elegance and finesse of Tempier. This complexity stems from the blend of the estate's different terroirs and the variety of its clay-limestone soils, from limestone and sandy marl to Trias.
  
Vinification: Grapes sorted at the plot and in the cellar, destemmed, crushed, and placed in the cellar for a 3 to 4 week fermentation period using indigenous yeasts.
  
Aged in foudres for at least 18 months before bottling.
  
Nose: Notes of black fruits, mixed with tobacco, aged leather, and undergrowth.
  
Palate: Perfect balance between power, elegance, and finesse."
