A pinch me day @domaine_tempier! I can’t think about Bandol without imagining the Domaine Tempier label - thanks to @kermitlynchwine importing, this is a rose I treat myself to in the states when I can find it.

The winery is truly the heart of Bandol’s story, and we loved hearing all about it (plot twist, the family matriarch is the highlight of their story). While the estate dates to 1834, Lucie “Lulu” Tempier and Lucien Peyraud helped revive Bandol after World War II, championing Mourvèdre and proving this region could produce some of France’s most age-worthy wines.

Walking these vineyards felt like stepping into a place that shaped wine history. A visit I’ll never forget. 🍷🇫🇷
