The benchmark Provencal rose, and the wine that made Bandol Bandol. Domaine Tempier was bottling pale pink Provencal wine long before rose filled American shelves — Lucien Peyraud championed Mourvedre when the region's noble grapes were being ripped out for higher-yielding varieties, and by 1941, thanks to him and his neighbors, Bandol had its own AOC. The rose is roughly half Mourvedre with Grenache and Cinsault, drawn from the estate's full spread of clay-limestone soils, from sandy Santonian limestone to rudist limestone, all farmed organically and bottled at the domaine. That makes it a serious wine rather than a seasonal one: the 2022 is refreshing enough for the Provencal heat but powerful enough for the region's hearty cooking, and very ageworthy — a couple of years in bottle only adds layers. Quantities are constrained and demand for this one never lets up. Serve well-chilled.

"A classic Bandol, the 2022 Bandol Rose reveals stunning aromas of grapefruit, spring flowers, guava, lemon and iodine. The wine on the palate is medium to full-bodied, combining a fleshy core of fruit and racy acids with impressive substance on the finish. It needs a couple of years in bottle, but you can already see the potential." —Robert Parker

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Bouillabaisse, grilled sardines or rouget, aioli with salt cod, salade nicoise, roast chicken with thyme, or a garlicky lamb daube.

Tasting Profile

Dry and savory, with citrus, stone fruit and a Provencal herb edge. Medium-bodied and finely structured with no tannin, bright acidity, and a long, faintly saline finish. With more bottle age it turns toward candied citrus, melon and rose petal.

If there is one name that looms large in Bandol it is Lucie “Lulu” Peyraud. Lulu is the matriarch of Domaine Tempier and in many ways the entirety of Bandol as we know it. It was her, along with her now-deceased husband Lucien, who tirelessly worked to to grow the notoriety of their special Provençal wines.
Lulu, of course, is as much of a product of the Provençal landscape as the lavender and aromatic scrub that sprouts from it. Her whole life she used the ingredients that grew around her to make feasts of authentic home cooking to welcome visitors to the Domaine, including Alice Waters of famed Chez Panisse.

This is just one of the innumerable ways Lulu changed the food and wine world we know. Acclaimed food writer Richard Olney dedicated an entire book to her in 1994 entitled "Lulu's Provencal Table: The Exuberant Food and Wine from the Domaine Tempier Vineyard." Kermit Lynch, one of America’s most influential wine importers, considers Domaine Tempier a cornerstone of their portfolio and credits his strong friendship with Lulu as a bond that has fortified their success. Through her hospitality, passion, curiosity and genuine kindness she attracted culinary titans like moths to a flame and forever changed them.

Of course, it helps when the wine that flows from Lulu’s domaine is exceptional.
