Tempier Bandol Pour Lulu 2017
The Winery
Domaine Tempier
Since 1834 the Tempier family had been at the forefront of establishing Bandol as its own Appellation d’Origin, and by 1941 proprietor Lucien Peyraud’s dream was finally actualized. Years later and now considered the Godfather of Bandol, Lucien and his work at Domaine Tempier helped re-develop both the post-phylloxera Bandol region and Mourvedre grape back to its original glory. The Peyraud family still plays a significant role in the viticultural and winemaking processes for wines that are true to this extremely historic region.
Summary
The Tempier Bandol Pour Lulu 2017 is a Mourvèdre-focused red wine crafted as a tribute to Lucie “Lulu” Peyraud on her centennial. This cuvée showcases old-vine grapes from the Bandol region, fermented naturally and aged for 18-20 months in old foudres, preserving the terroir's character. The wine presents dense flavors of blackberry, complemented by herbal notes, black olive, and hints of licorice, alongside a mineral smokiness. With its muscular and savory tannins, it offers complexity and depth. This organic wine is ideal for pairing with rich dishes like lamb and can age gracefully for years.
