The wine: The “Classique” vintage from Domaine Tempier is now called Lulu & Lucien, thus honoring Lucie and Lucien Peyraud, historical figures of the Bandol appellation who took over the property in 1940. Marked by the imprint of the Mourvèdre grape variety, this delicious red wine evolves on fruity notes of crushed strawberries, blackberry and cherry, accompanied by a charming spicy texture (pepper, cinnamon, licorice) as well as a delicate oaky touch. Perfectly appreciated in its youth, it is nevertheless over time that this bottle will reveal its great aromatic complexity. Delicious pairings with beef, lamb or game can be made here. A treat!

The estate: Iconic property of Provence, the domaine Tempier is one of the pioneers who allowed the creation of the Bandol appellation in 1941. The Peyraud family and Daniel Ravier, the director of the property, make the most of their 60 hectares, composed of Mourvèdre (more than 40 hectares) but also Grenache noir, Cinsault, Carignan and Syrah. The 5 hectares of white are distributed between the varieties Clairette (65%), Ugni blanc, Bourboulenc, Marsanne and Rolle. The estate has an exceptional heritage of very old vines allowing the production of three iconic vintages: La Migoua, La Tourtine, and Cabassaou. Red wines, as well as rosés and whites, are impressively consistent in their quality and deserve the full attention of wine lovers.
