From Domaine Tempier, the 2025 Bandol Rosé carries the estate’s long-standing commitment to Mourvèdre-led blends that favour structure, savoury detail, and longevity over simple immediacy. Drawn from limestone-rich terraces overlooking the Mediterranean, the wine opens with wild strawberry, blood orange, white peach, and crushed herbs, layered with the faint saline lift that has become a hallmark of Tempier’s style. The palate is textured and deliberate rather than overtly fruity, with Mourvèdre lending gentle grip and spice beneath notes of redcurrant, citrus peel, fennel, and garrigue. Fermentation in stainless steel preserves freshness, yet it offers a breadth and quiet complexity that allow the wine to evolve gracefully over a meal. The finish is dry, mineral, and persistent, leaving behind herbs, stone fruit, and a subtle coastal bitterness that invites another glass.
