Bandol Rouge Large Format Wine from Domaine Tempierre’s LuLu And LuCieN Edition

Domaine Tempier Bandol Rouge 2021: A Timeless Provence Red Wine Experience

Hailing from the sun-drenched vineyards of Bandol in Provence, France, Domaine Tempier’s 2021 Rouge is a masterclass in traditional winemaking excellence. Crafted from a meticulous blend of 75% Mourvèdre—known for its depth—alongside Grenache (14%), Cinsault (9%), and Carignan (2%), this wine embodies the bold character of its terroir while showcasing refined elegance. The 2021 vintage mirrors iconic years like 1981 and 2013, delivering a harmonious balance of dark fruit intensity and structured tannins that linger on the palate.

For wine enthusiasts seeking organic options, this bottle stands out as a testament to sustainable practices. Grown using organic farming methods, Domaine Tempier’s grapes capture pure expressions of their environment, resulting in a wine that’s both authentic and ethically produced. At 14% alcohol by volume, it offers a rich yet approachable drinking experience without overpowering your senses.

Pair this Bandol Rouge with hearty dishes to unlock its full potential—think slow-roasted lamb shank or venison medallions where its earthy undertones complement robust flavors perfectly. The wine’s stony minerality also shines with earthy wild mushroom ragouts or aged cheeses like Roquefort. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future savoring (though best uncorked sooner), a brief decant enhances its complexity by softening tannins and amplifying aromas of black cherry and spice.

What sets this wine apart? Its adherence to classic Bandol style ensures layers of dark fruit alongside vibrant acidity and firm tannins—a rarity in today’s modern winemaking trends. Domaine Tempier’s meticulous attention to tradition guarantees each bottle reflects the region’s unique heritage while remaining accessible for everyday indulgence or special occasions.

Ideal for collectors or those exploring rare Provence wines, this Rouge balances sophistication with approachability thanks to its thoughtful aging process and organic integrity. Note that items in our Fine & Rare category maintain premium pricing due to their limited availability and exceptional quality—ensuring you receive a bottle worthy of every pour.
