Domaine Tempier 2001 Bandol La Tourtine Vineyard
(over 2 years ago) buddy icon benjata 95.0/100
Domaine Tempier's own Lucien Peyraud died in 1998. The great cookbook scribe Richard Olney passed on a year later. Olney was a great fan of Lucien's and not to be morbid, but I can only imagine what magnificent spreads they had at the wakes. How can the ethereal patchwork of color and taste of Provence be anything but life-affirming and happy? I can't fathom pondering death while licking stray bits of aoli from my fingers. Perhaps that's for the best. Anyway, Bandol, Domaine Tempier. This is where the sunlight gets into the grapes and makes your spirit sing. Those great vistas you see in postcards of the French Riviera and the Mediterranean sun in all that blue sea, you taste that. You taste the sun.

Provencial at its best! beautiful, harmonious, and delightful.. a very fresh flavour of basil and other fresh herbs, a nice pepper note and the terroir comes out beautifully. By far the best out of the Bandol region and a fine example of the Mourvedre grape verietal. Savour this or store for 6-10 years for optimim consumption.
