  1. Domaine Tempier Cuvée La Tourtine Bandol Rouge 2022

    Purplish in color with a reddish rim.

    Nice nose and medium in body with medium acidity.

    Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

    Showing raspberries, red cherries, currants, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth and tobacco.

    Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

    This Single Vineyard Mourvedre from Bandol is rich and fruit forward. Elegant and easy drinking.

    Already delicious, although still very young, and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.

    Nicely balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will pair nicely with food too.

    A blend of 85% Mourvèdre, with Grenache and Cinsault. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.

    14.5% alcohol by volume.

    92 points.

    $100.

    Thanks for the notes. I always go back and forth between Migoua and this. Migoua sells out faster locally it seems.

  3. does anyone know if these Tempier bottlings are single vineyards? Or are they different cuvees assembled from different plots? I think i’ve tasted all of them over the years but not at one sitting & from the same vintage to compare & contrast.

    That is young, i have 2013 in my cellar.
    ‘Normal’ red that is.
