Domaine Tempier, Bandol Rose, France 2022 $30
Continuing our celebration of rose, we’re offering one of the most sought after pink wines in the world. The deceptively complex and ageable mourvedre based wonder Domaine Tempier.
Domaine Tempier is a legendary estate, both for the work of viticulturalist Lucien Peyraud, who was instrumental in restoring the primacy of Mourvedre in the grape growing of Bandol and in creating and maintaining its appellation status, and for the work of his wife Lucie ‘Lulu’ Peyraud whose endless hospitality and sense of adventure made her a beloved figure to wine lovers and gastronomes world wide, as well as one of the most unforgettable figures in Kermit Lynch’s memoir “Adventures on the Wine Route”. Come join us and raise a glass to Lulu and Lucien and to this fantastic enduring estate.
