Keywords: Complex / For keeping / Gastronomy

The wine: This large format of the vintage Lulu & Lucien from Maison Tempier is a blend where Mourvedre sets the tempo. Its palette of flavors extends to notes of crushed strawberries and charmeux spices (pepper , cinnamon, licorice) accompanied by a sublime oaky touch. You can already appreciate this great wine but it is over time that this nectar will reveal its great complexity . Delicious pairings with beef, lamb or game can be made here. An absolute treat!

The estate: Piconic property of Provence, the Tempier estate 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, took over best 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.
