"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 red wine 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 an aging of 18 months in barrels 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 specific to Tempier. A complexity resulting 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 period of 3 to 4 weeks of fermentation thanks to indigenous yeasts.
  
Aged in tuns for at least 18 months before bottling.
  
Nose: Notes of black fruits, mixed with tobacco, old leather and undergrowth.
  
Palate: Perfect balance between power, elegance and finesse."
