Description
The Estate’s prominent cuvée blends the discrete strength of Bandol with the elegance and finesse which characterize Tempier. This complexity is a result of different terroirs of the estate and the variety of its clay-limestone soil located around the Estate but also in La Cadière, Sainte Anne d’Evenos, and Ollioules. There are sandy marls, limestone greseux from santonien, rudist limestone and recent barely deep horizons of colluvions. Plus, there are various sun or wind exposures.
At Domaine Tempier grapes from the different vineyards are skillfully blended to create this wine, made up of between 70 and 75% Mourvedre (depending on the year) combined with Grenache, Cinsault and a hint (2%) of old Carignan. This fruity, well balanced wine can be enjoyed after 3 or 4 years, but develops extremely pleasant tertiary aromas (leather, animal and undergrowth) with further ageing. The wine’s balance gives it an ageing potential of 15 years or more.
Description
Tempier is one of the best known estates in Bandol and has been run by the Peyraud family since 1936, when Lucie Tempier married Lucien Peyraud. In 1943 Lucien bottled his first wine, a rose, and by 1945 had become President of the Bandol Wine Association, a position he held for 37 years. The couple were fundamental in the ensuing growth and recognition of Bandol as a globally recognised producer of fine wine. Lucien died in 1996 and Lucie (Lulu) continued her involvment in both food and wine, until her death in October 2020 at the age of 102, just after the harvest.
From the vintage 2020, the family decided to rename their classic red cuvée "Lulu & Lucien" in honour of the couple.
