Represented less than 10% of the total production. This wine is already sold out. Aromatic white that pairs well with variety of cuisines or serves as aperitif. 89. (217 views) | | | Tasted by marcus_francois on 1/1/2024: Really tastes like a white version of their rosé. Medium (-) intensity. Oily, lithe texture. Grapefruit, canteloupe. Very fresh and light. Nice acidity but in no way ripping. Drank it with a good chill (on ice) and that felt like the right way to serve. Would be great as a summer patio wine if serving oenophiles. I think I would prefer this to the rosé. (578 views) | | | Tasted by UFGators on 11/20/2023 & rated 91 points: Very unique wine. Tastes like a Bordeaux blanc but with tamed acidity. Seems to be tightly coiled at the moment. Delicious to drink now but I think this will be best in 2-3 years plus. 91-93. (420 views) | | | Tasted by Joshvoulters on 11/10/2023 & rated 90 points: A delicious combination of ripe yellow pear, yellow plum, grapefruit and lemongrass with sweet oak spice. A lingering freshness and a hint of sweaty sauvignon-y character. While it’s broad and rich in texture, it’s surprisingly lithe and bright on the palate, concentrated but not massive, with decent acidity and a bitterness on a finish which lasts and lasts. Merges some of the better parts of a Condrieu and a Bordeaux Blanc- very enjoyable. (515 views) |
| Domaine Tempier Producer website
U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)
Domaine Tempier is located at Le Plan du Castellet. Its vineyards stretch over three different communities- Le Castellet, Le Beausset and La Cadière. The plots of land are thus far apart and require extra work. But the soil of these different areas yield distinctive cuvées -Spéciale, Migoua, Tourtine and Cabassaou - as well as interesting and complex blends for white, rosé and red wines.
Domaine Tempier owns 30 hectares. It produces AOC Bandol exclusively - an average of 68% red, 29% rosé and 3% white wines, approximately 120,000 bottles per year
White Blend"White blend" means the wine is made from a blend of two or more different white varieties - or in some cases a blend of pink or red varieties that are vinified white, ie. without any skin contact.
