In 1936, Lucie 'Lulu' Tempier married Lucien Peyraud, who received Domaine Tempier, an old farm near Bandol, from her father. Lucien was inspired by an old wine made from pre-phylloxera grapes on the estate and began researching the terroir of Bandol. He discovered that the soil and climate were particularly suitable for growing Mourvèdre, and that low yields produced the best results for long-lived wines. This led to a large-scale replanting of Mourvèdre, which became mandatory within the Bandol AOC, with at least 50% Mourvèdre in the wines.
Description: Dark forest fruit, thyme, rosemary, leather, tobacco, oak, full-bodied and powerful.
Pairs well with: Venison, hare, lamb, grilled meat.
Fun fact: Lucien, the 'Godfather of Bandol', brought Mourvèdre back to great heights, producing deep, structured, high-quality wines. Domaine Tempier thus became one of the grand crus of Provence.
