Bandol
Domaine Tempier 2022 'Lulu & Lucien' Bandol Rouge, Provence, France
Blackberry, black plum, and garrigue define the nose, with hints of black olive, leather, and cracked pepper emerging as it opens. The palate is structured yet refined, with firm but polished tannins that promise years of evolution.

Château Pradeaux 2018 Bandol Rouge Provence, France

Domaine Tempier 2022 La Tourtine, Bandol Rouge, Provence, France
The wine is brooding at first: blackcurrant, roasted meat, leather, and bay leaf, with hints of thyme and iron-rich earth. But give it air, and it starts to open, revealing violet, plum, and a savory, ferrous edge that lingers after the glass is empty.
