Description

Domaine Tempier La Tourtine 2019 Magnum: an exceptional Bandol red

Domaine Tempier La Tourtine 2019 is a powerful and expressive red wine from the renowned Bandol appellation in Provence. Sourced from a hillside vineyard near Le Castellet, this single-vineyard cuvée benefits from generous sunshine and regular winds that favour the character of Mourvèdre.

Mourvèdre is the dominant grape, complemented by Grenache and Cinsault. The wine displays depth and firm tannins, with distinctive aromas of dark fruit, spices and eucalyptus. Its broad, complex palate combines Mediterranean intensity with an elegant texture.

The wine is aged in large oak vats for at least 18 months, allowing its structure to develop while preserving the identity of the vineyard. La Tourtine is known for its ageing potential and is well suited to wine lovers who appreciate structured, characterful reds.

The 1.5-litre Magnum format is ideal for celebrations, dinner parties and sharing around the table. It can also be an attractive choice for cellaring under suitable conditions. Pair this Bandol red with roast lamb, beef, game or slow-cooked dishes. Allowing the wine to breathe before serving can help reveal its aromatic complexity.
