Domaine Tempier La Tourtine 2019: a distinctive Bandol red

The Domaine Tempier La Tourtine Bandol Rouge 2019 is a single-vineyard wine that reflects the distinctive character of Provence’s Bandol appellation. Sourced from a hillside terroir near Le Castellet, the vineyard benefits from generous sunshine and regular exposure to the wind, conditions well suited to the Mourvèdre grape.

Mourvèdre forms the backbone of the blend, complemented by Grenache and Cinsault. The result is a structured, full-bodied red with firm tannins, depth and flavours of dark fruit and spice. With bottle ageing, the wine can develop additional aromatic complexity while retaining its distinctive Mediterranean character.

The wine is aged in large oak vats for at least 18 months. This traditional approach helps integrate its structure while allowing the vineyard’s character to remain at the forefront. The 2019 vintage is a compelling choice for drinkers who appreciate powerful, age-worthy red wines.

Serve it with roast lamb, beef, duck, game dishes or mature cheeses. Allowing the wine time to breathe before serving can help reveal its aromas and texture. It can be enjoyed after suitable aeration or kept in a well-managed cellar for further development over time.
