Domaine Tempier

2011 Bandol Red Blend

This 2011 vintage boasts a rich, beautiful red hue that immediately draws the eye. On the palate, the wine exhibits a medium body, providing a luxurious mouthfeel without overwhelming the senses. Its acidity is lively and bright, enhancing the fruit-forward character of the wine, which reveals prominent notes of dark berries and ripe cherries intertwined with subtle hints of earthy spice. The tannins are notable yet refined, contributing to the wine's structure and depth while allowing for a silky finish. This red blend is delightfully dry, making it an exceptional choice that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, from grilled meats to rich pasta sauces, showcasing the true essence of Bandol's terroir.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
