Domaine Tempier, Bandol Rosè 2022

“A classic Bandol, the 2022 Bandol Rose reveals stunning aromas of grapefruit, spring flowers, guava, lemon and iodine. The wine on the palate is medium to full-bodied, combining a fleshy core of fruit and racy acids with impressive substance on the finish. It needs a couple of years in bottle, but you can already see the potential.”-93WA, 2023-2026

Domaine Tempier Rosè is perhaps the most iconic Bandol wine. It was made famous in the book “Adventures on the Wine Route” by Kermit Lynch and it holds a special place in the hearts of all rosè lovers. It would not be overstating to say that several estates in Bandol do their best job to emulate this top estate but there is only one Domaine Tempier. Always delicious upon release, this is also a rosè that can handle a few years bottle age and even improves over the course of a few years.
