Golden and delicate, with intensely fragrant notes, the nose is both fruity and floral. The palate is full-bodied, with a lovely, concentrated texture. A great white wine from Provence—always hard and rare to find—that never fails to impress!
Daniel Ravier
Daniel Ravier, an exacting engineer born in the Savoy region, was entrusted with managing this estate by the Peyrauds, a mythic Bandol wine family. And Tempier would indeed be nothing were it not for Lucie and Lucien Peyraud, who ran the estate over four decades. Theirs was the struggle of a lifetime, in which Lucien Peyraud unquestionably became the spiritual father of Bandol, the pope of Provence. He worked tirelessly, restructuring the vineyards in their entirety, an extraordinary legacy whose fruit the estate still enjoys today. The Mourvèdre, Grenache and Cinsault were planted in the early 40s. Then, around 1960, the two sons, François and Jean-Marie, came onto the scene. But after the estate faced a difficult period in the late 1980s/90s, seeing its vigour and activity begin to wane, the Peyraud family had the presence of mind to put the reigns into the able hands of Daniel. The years that followed confirmed what a sound decision that was, for today, Tempier has regained its nobility and renown.
The nose is very aromatic, with both fruity and floral notes, including grapefruit and passion fruit... The palate is full-bodied, with beautiful texture and concentration. A great rosé crafted for gastronomic pairings, balanced by lovely and thin bitters.
A nose with notes of black fruits, spices, and garrigue. The palate is vinous, supple, fruity and fresh. A luscious cuvée, a moment of pleasure guaranteed...
