Bandol does what it does, sun-baked, structured, unmistakably southern.
Bandol does what it does, sun-baked, structured, unmistakably southern. The 2021 from Tempier is a wine with a pulse.
Mourvèdre-led, with Grenache and Cinsault in support. Dark fruit, garrigue, a grip of tannin that softens over the course of an evening.
Open it, decant it, and it unwinds for hours.
It is not cheap. It is worth it.
