Tempier Bandol (Cuvee Speciale) La Migoua 1988
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 (Cuvée Spéciale) La Migoua 1988 is a notable red wine from the Provence region, crafted primarily from Mourvèdre with Grenache, Cinsault, and a touch of Syrah. This vintage is characterized by its classic savory profile, showcasing aromas of black cherry, leather, olives, and garrigue, alongside hints of game and tobacco. Aged for approximately 18 months in large old foudres, this wine has developed a beautifully mature character, enhanced by the magnum format that allows for slower aging. With its limestone-rich terroir, La Migoua is a great representation of the traditional elegance and complexity found in Old World wines.
