Tempier’s benchmark Bandol red from old-vine Mourvèdre with Grenache and Cinsault (plus a touch of Carignan), aged 18–20 months in large foudres; the 2010 now shows mature southern Provençal complexity and structure.
Domaine Tempier’s Bandol Classique is a benchmark for age-worthy southern French reds. Predominantly Mourvèdre from vines averaging over 40 years of age, this 2007 bottling was aged in large oak foudres for 18–20 months. It delivers a powerful nose of dried red fruit, earthy spice, and leather, with a firm tannic backbone and unmistakable Mediterranean character.
