Bandol White Domaine Tempier • 2023 • Provence

Domaine Tempier's 2023 Bandol Blanc is a delightful complexity, offering great minerality and finesse. This elegant white wine, light straw-yellow in color, is a blend of Clairette, Bourboulenc, and Ugni Blanc. It boasts vibrant aromas of lime, grapefruit, peach, and pear, intertwined with highly perfumed spices like laurel and white pepper. The nose also reveals notes of citrus and blackcurrant buds. On the palate, it is fresh and slightly minty, finishing with a hint of salinity. With age, it may develop intriguing honeyed and marine aromas. A truly refined and mineral-driven white Bandol that is a rare and refined from a powerhouse red producer; well worth exploring for its distinctive Mediterranean terroir and balanced sophistication. Best paired with grilled squid.
