Domaine Tempier 2023 Bandol "La Tourtine", Provence

“La Tourtine” is winemaker Daniel Ravier’s most elegant and accessible wine, deeply flavored and immensely satisfying.  A real treat every vintage.  La Tourtine is on the same hillside as Cabassaou, only above the line of olive trees bisecting the vineyard. 

"97 Points.  Planted on a very high terroir of five hectares on Le Castellet, La Tourtine is composed of approximately 85% Mourvèdre. This 2023 Bandol La Tourtine is a wine of great concentration and fabulous length, with notes of blonde tobacco, cacao, and leather, made of relative power with fine, ripe tannins and great persistence. Savor it over the next 10-15 years. Drink now-2038."--Antoine Petrus, JebDunnick.com
