Domaine Tempier 2021 "Lulu et Lucien" Bandol Rouge, France
New release -
One of our favorite reds from the South of France, the Domaine Tempier Bandol "Lulu et Lucien" Rouge is the textbook example of the appellation and always sells out early. Highly recommended.
92 Points Robert Parker: "An impressive barrel sample, the Domaine Tempier Bandol Cuvee Classique shows surprising depth and concentration in the vintage. Notes of dark fruits, mineral and peppery, Provencal herbs all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, beautifully pure, elegant that should drink reasonably well on release."
Domaine Tempier's Lulu et Lucien is a tribute wine to most influential figures in the region: Lulu Peyraud and her husband Lucien. He was the driving force behind establishing the Bandol AOC, while Lulu was the consummate entertainer and a matriarch for the wine community. She passed away in 2020 at age 102. The 2021 is 75% Mourvèdre, 14% Grenache, 9% Cinsault, and 2% Carignan. The importer says, "You’ll want to savor as many bottles as possible, as soon as possible, to take advantage of the intoxicating young fruit: wild blackberries and violets leap from the glass, while the surprisingly supple tannins encourage diving in headfirst before the wine bulks up and closes down for a period of hibernation. It should age exceptionally well, but it would be a crime not to uncork a few bottles in its vibrant youth—simply, as Lulu would say, 'pour le plaisir' ". *Organic*
