Viniou Reviews

The 2008 Domaine Tempier Bandol is an exquisite red wine from the Provence region of France, renowned for its robust and complex taste profile. Bandol wines are predominantly composed of Mourvèdre grapes, which is the signature grape of the region, often blended with Grenache, Cinsault, and sometimes a hint of Carignan or Syrah. This particular vintage, 2008, benefits from the terroir of Bandol, which is celebrated for its limestone and clay soils, coupled with the Mediterranean climate that sees ample sunshine and mild winters. These conditions are ideal for producing wines with rich, concentrated flavours and good ageing potential. At Domaine Tempier, traditional vinification methods are implemented to enhance the natural qualities of the grape and its terroir, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and elegantly structured.

The Bandol region's history is rich with a tradition of winemaking that dates back to ancient times, and it has long been celebrated for producing some of the finest rosé and red wines in France. The region’s geographic proximity to the coast means that vineyards benefit from cooling maritime influences, which help in developing a balance of acidity and ripe fruit in the wines.

For culinary pairing, the 2008 Domaine Tempier Bandol Rouge is well-suited to robust, hearty dishes that can stand up to its bold flavour profile. Traditional Provençal cuisine, such as lamb with herbs, beef daube, or a hearty ratatouille, complements the wine’s earthy, meaty notes. Grilled meats, game dishes, and even flavoursome, aged cheeses also make excellent partners for this Bandol.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C. It is advisable to decant it for at least an hour before serving to allow the wine to open up and display its complex bouquet of dark fruit, leather, and spice notes. This will enhance the tasting experience, bringing forward the elegant structure and depth of this splendid Provençal wine.
