Pale lemon in color.
Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
Showing limes, grapefruits, gooseberries, earth and spices.
Long finish with limes and almonds.
This is a delicious Bandol white. Rich, tangy and fruit forward. Has a New world Sauvignon Blanc feel.
Expressive and spicy. Complex and nicely balanced. Really enjoyed the nose here.
Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.
A great sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.
A blend of 60% Clairette, 30% Ugni Blanc with 10% Vermentino and Bourboulenc. Grapes are handpicked, and aged for 10 months in used oak barrels.

2023 vintage rose from Bandol in Provence. Deep salmon color, red fruit on the nose, lovely strawberry flavors, with balanced acidity and a tart finish. — 3 months ago
This can develop a while of course but nothing at all wrong with it right now with some choice southern-inspired thanksgiving leftovers. All about the garrigue and sun baked red fruit at this point, tertiary elements not really showing yet but ample structure to get there — 7 months ago
2014 - Vintage Domaine Tempier “La Tourtine” 80%-Mourvedre 10%-Grenache 10%-Cinsault ( no Carignan in this wine) red rim mediums red color, a lot of other than fruit aromas earth,mushroom, sage, undergrowth, black fruit beautifully presented with medium tannins softening nicely. This is out of a magnum ( good time to start drinking but definitely some time left) they have different names on the label signifying different blends this is the La Tourtine but they also have “La Migoua” and just a Bandol with no designation label says 11%-14% ( I bet on the 14%) — a month ago
Great Rosé but not as good as other vintages. Light flavor and lots of vanilla, but strawberry flavor is thin. Good value at $65. — a month ago

Reddish in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.
Pretty nose with wild flowers, red fruits, light earth, herbs, tobacco leaf, light oak, sweet cherries and spices.
Medium bodied and smooth with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, cooked plums, oak, tobacco, licorice, chocolates, herbs, spices and earth.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.
This 20 years old red blend from Bandol is absolutely fantastic. Drinking very nicely right out of the bottle, and feels fresh and engaging.
This Single Vineyard is elegant and powerful. Complex and nicely balanced.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
A blend of 55% Mourvedre,
25% Cinsault, 15% Grenache and 5% Syrah. Aged for 18 months in large French oak barrels.
