To describe Domaine Tempier Rosé as one of the cult wines of the world is to make a slight understatement. It is one of the highest priced, most sought after rosés made in France today in the small and heat filled enclave of Bandol, an appellation in the to die for beauty of Provence where lavender lines the gardens and the chocolatey Mourvedré grape lines the barrels.

This pink wine is made mostly from Mourvèdre ( 50%) with Grenache and Cinsault playing support roles, this wine is made with direct pressing and settled at cool temperatures in both stainless steel and concrete vats. The average vine age is 20 years, the wine is bone dry and was aged for six to eight months prior to bottling 

Flavours of candied citrus fruit, melon and rose petal add surprising depth to this pale coloured dry rosé. 

It drinks well on release, as is to be expected with pink wines, but this one also has the potential to age and evolve beautifully for at least five years, say its makers in the appellation of Bandol in Provence in southern France. 

Serve it lightly chilled.
