Domaine Tempier 2025 Bandol Rosé, Provence

To say this wine is the king of all rosés wouldn’t be an overstatement.  I’ve sipped on 10 year old Tempier rosé and it had the complexity and verve of a great wine at its peak.  The demand is so great, we sell out of our allocation almost as quickly as it hits our doorstep, even though it carries a premium price.  That’s the definition of a legend.  55% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache and 20% Cinsault make up the blend.  “With Tempier rosé, it takes just one sniff to be transported to Provence. Garrigue-laced, fine-grained, and superb with salty snacks like panisses, cured anchovy toasts, or saucisson.”—Tom Wolf, Kermit Lynch Imports
