"Domaine Tempier is located in Provence in the Bandol appellation. The estate was created in 1830 but fully revealed itself under the influence of Léonie Tempier in 1885 when she won a Gold medal for her wine red made from Mourvèdre.
  
In 1941, Bandol became an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, one of the regulations of which is to produce wines with a minimum of 50% Mourvèdre, and aging for 18 months in barrels for red wines. Today, Domaine Tempier cultivates vines using sustainable agriculture in three communes and produces four wines.
  
The Cabassaou single-plot Cuvée (ça cabasse = ça cabasse) comes from a terroir of small terraces, below the Tourtine, sheltered from the mistral. The vines benefit from a very warm microclimate, ventilated by thermal winds. They produce a dense, tight wine, typical of Mourvèdre, with exceptional aging potential.
  
 Vinification : Grapes sorted at the plot and in the cellar; destemmed, crushed and put in the cellar for a period of 3 to 4 weeks of fermentation using native yeasts.
  
 Aging : In barrels for a minimum of 18 months before bottling.
  
 This wine is a great success which today reveals aromas of garrigue, blackberries, fresh figs, noble leather and sweet spices."
