Domaine Tempier Bandol Rose 2025

$5999 $6499

This is the rose, but never forget: Tempier is the domaine that made Bandol Bandol. Back in the 1940s, Lucien Peyraud rallied local growers to create the appellation and save Mourvedre from extinction, and the family has been Bandol's beating heart ever since. The rose is Mourvedre-led and built for the table -- a serious, structured pink with the presence to stand up to real food rather than just an aperitif. Dry, mineral, and savory, it's one of the benchmark roses of the world. Endlessly limited and always worth chasing.

More about Domaine Tempier

If there is one name that looms large in Bandol it is Lucie “Lulu” Peyraud. Lulu is the matriarch of Domaine Tempier and in many ways the entirety of Bandol as we know it. It was her, along with her now-deceased husband Lucien, who tirelessly worked to to grow the notoriety of their special Provençal wines.
Lulu, of course, is as much of a product of the Provençal landscape as the lavender and aromatic scrub that sprouts from it. Her whole life she used the ingredients that grew around her to make feasts of authentic home cooking to welcome visitors to the Domaine, including Alice Waters of famed Chez Panisse.

This is just one of the innumerable ways Lulu changed the food and wine world we know. Acclaimed food writer Richard Olney dedicated an entire book to her in 1994 entitled "Lulu's Provencal Table: The Exuberant Food and Wine from the Domaine Tempier Vineyard." Kermit Lynch, one of America’s most influential wine importers, considers Domaine Tempier a cornerstone of their portfolio and credits his strong friendship with Lulu as a bond that has fortified their success. Through her hospitality, passion, curiosity and genuine kindness she attracted culinary titans like moths to a flame and forever changed them.

Of course, it helps when the wine that flows from Lulu’s domaine is exceptional.
