Domaine Tempier 2017 Bandol

Pairs with: Marbled, dry-aged ribeye

Feels like: A bottle worth waiting for

Grapes: Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsault, Carignan

I am from: Bandol, France

In your mouth: There is something about the dark, inky Mourvèdre, plus the salty sea air caressing the vines every night, that typifies classic Bandol. I am a textbook example, with rich, broad structure and intense black fruit notes. Give me a few years, or a couple of hours to decant – or both – and you'll get to enjoy what I have to offer.
