Domaine Tempier Bandol Rouge La Tourtine 2022 750ml

If the Lulu & Lucien bottling epitomize the exuberant side of Tempier, the Tourtine is where the finesse really shines through. It’s delicate, refined, and ever more majestic as it opens up. This is exceptional and understated Bandol of which Lulu and Lucien would undoubtedly be proud.\

96 points La Revue du Vin de France: "With its mineral delicacy and perfect concentration, La Tourtine is surprisingly appealing for its age: let's bet it will close down again. Less powerful, more elegant than usual, it testifies to a vinification that took into account the warmth of the vintage to get the best out of a perfectly ripe Mourvèdre, extracted with finesse." 

95 points Fine Wine Review: "This is a version of La Tourtine that is unusually open at this early stage in its development. The wine is firm and voluptuous with red fruits. There’s tremendous depth here and this promises to be something special for those who can hold it 10-15 years. 80% Mourvèdre, 10% Grenache, 10% Cinsault. Cork closure. 14.5% stated alcohol."
