Domaine TEMPIER Cuvée La TOURTINE 2022 Red Bandol 75 cl

Description

Domaine Tempier La Tourtine 2022: a distinctive Bandol red

Domaine Tempier La Tourtine 2022 is a single-vineyard red wine from the Bandol appellation in Provence. Produced near Le Castellet, it reflects a Mediterranean terroir well suited to Mourvèdre, the grape variety that defines the character of many of the region’s most structured reds.

Mourvèdre forms the backbone of the blend, complemented by Grenache and Cinsault. The wine is known for its depth, firm tannins and expressive ripe-fruit and spice character. Its structure makes it particularly appealing to drinkers who appreciate concentrated, full-bodied southern French reds.

The wine is aged in large oak vats for at least 18 months, allowing its components to integrate while retaining the expression of the vineyard. With appropriate cellar conditions, the wine can continue to develop in bottle and gain further aromatic complexity.

Serve La Tourtine 2022 with roast lamb, grilled or braised beef, game or richly flavoured Mediterranean dishes. A little time to breathe before serving can help reveal its aromas. This is a characterful wine suited to a generous meal and to those who enjoy structured reds with ageing potential.
