The 2024 Domaine Tempier Bandol Blanc is a beautifully expressive white from one of Provence’s most iconic estates. Produced from a traditional blend of Clairette, Ugni Blanc, Rolle (Vermentino) and Bourboulenc, the wine is sourced from organically farmed vineyards overlooking the Mediterranean. Domaine Tempier is celebrated for its commitment to terroir and traditional winemaking, and this Bandol Blanc combines richness, freshness and mineral precision in a style that is both distinctive and age-worthy.
The nose reveals aromas of white peach, pear and citrus blossom layered with fennel, wild herbs and subtle saline notes. The palate is textured and vibrant, with ripe orchard fruit supported by crisp acidity and a chalky mineral backbone. Elegant and beautifully balanced, it finishes long with notes of citrus, almond and a refreshing coastal lift.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A superb Provençal white that offers far more depth and complexity than many wines from the region. Its texture and mineral freshness make it a perfect match for grilled lobster, snapper, roast chicken, bouillabaisse and mature goat’s cheese. Enjoy now through 2032 as it develops additional savoury complexity and remarkable elegance.
