Bandol Blanc Tempier is a white wine produced from 20-year-old vines in very limited quantities (1 hectare).

The soil at an altitude of 300 metres with southern, south-eastern exposure is composed of sandy marl from the Santoniana era.

This less warm part of the vineyards allows the Domaine to express great freshness in the white and rosé wines.

The traditional working of the soil, both manual and mechanical, without the use of herbicides. Reasoned vineyard treatments without the use of synthetic substances. The vines are worked in order to obtain a maximum production of 30- 35 hl/ha, making the most of their potential.

Manual harvesting in single 30 kg boxes; selection of bunches in the vineyard and in the cellar. Destemming of the grapes; cold skin maceration; subsequent soft pressing; stay in oak barrels, where the wine finishes malolactic fermentation, for 8 - 10 months.

Made of Clairette (60%) Ugni blanc (18%) Bourbulenc (19%) Marsanne (3%)

Domaine Tempier

The Domaine Tempier covers about thirty hectares in the heart of the Bandol denomination, at Le Plan du Castellet in Provence, South-East of France.

"Make wine like the landscape. This was Lucien Peyraud's ambition when he created the domaine. This respect for the land is still our common thread today, with a single ambition: to let it express everything it has to give us. “

Daniel Ravier, director of Domaine Tempier

Approximately two thirds of the grapes are vinified in red, in white a small three percent while the rest is dedicated to rosé wine; the company produces an average of 120 thousand bottles per year.

The kingdom of Mourvèdre is completed by Cinsault, Grenache, some Syrah and some old strains of Carignan. Among the white grapes are Clairette, Bourboulenc and Ugni Blanc. The vineyards are spread over three municipalities: Le Castellet, Le Beausser, La Cadière d'Azur.

This fragmentation of the property leads to the composition of articulated blends of the base wines - the Classique cuvée and the Spéciale cuvée - and the separate vinification of three crus: La Migoua, La Tourtine and Cabassau. La Migoua occupies a steep slope at the Beausser, where the Mourvèdre (about 60%) and a good dose of Cinsault are around 270 metres above sea level.

At lieu-dit Tourtine, the Mourvèdre dominates a splendid windy position on top of the Castellet massif, enjoying a calcareous clayey soil with a homogeneous composition. The Cabassaou cru is located a few dozen metres below in a sheltered position and is almost exclusively dedicated to the hegemonic vine of the denomination.

All the wines of the domaine ferment in steel and are then aged in traditional oak barrels from 10 to 50 hectolitres.

The Domaine produces a line of award-winning reds, a Bandol Blanc made with a very limited quantity (1 hectare) and a Rosé among the best in the world.
