2025 Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé
2025 is the new release from Tempier, and we have low pricing on this favorite Rosé. Tempier makes one of the greatest Roses in Bandol, and while we see many producers try to replicate Tempier's serious style of rosé, none do it as well as Tempier, which has been the benchmark for Bandol forever. There is always something so captivating about this rosé, with its radiant freshness in youth, before gaining more weight and complexity with age. There is no right or wrong way to enjoy this; it is all down to preference, but one thing is certain: Tempier makes one of the best rosés in the world.
The Mourvedre (~50% of the blend) for the Bandol Rosé comes from vines averaging 30 years old in select parcels, with the remaining dedicated to Grenache and Cinsault. The vines are very low-yielding, giving the wine an unmatched concentration, but in the Domaine style, they aim for a higher acidity to keep the wines fresh and vibrant. With a complexity of minerality, spices, and red fruits, it is not just a summer-day drinking wine; it is a bottle that can hold its own throughout a meal any time of year. We always recommend grabbing a few of these, some to enjoy now and some to tuck away in the cellar for a little longer. Tempier sets the bar for rosé each year, and 2025 is another great example and a great buy at this low price!
