I've squeezed all the mystery out of Tempier Rose' over the years. Consistently good. Consistently consistent.

Familiar salmon rose gold. Orange zippy bitter pith and grapefruit sours. Herbs de provence and mild tannin in a syrupy Bandolian texture.

Always hits...in exactly the same way. — 20 days ago

So tight even after 6 hours of air. Really singular. Not much in common with its Provençal brethren (sistren?). Cranberry, rose petals, cherry heering. Massive tannins, little discernible heat. Angular. Attenuated nose. Hold for now, but if you must drink, decant the day before. Fun wine to geek out on. — 5 years ago

A delicious French rose. Pale salmon color, mid palate dry and light red fruit taste. Perfect for a warm day. — 2 months ago

I’m a bit jaded and it takes a lot to wow me but this wine stopped me in my tracks. Stunning. I was going to add it to the champagne thread but it deserves its own. Sarah and others have touted this wine. Rightfully so. Guys at the Wine Ex used to call it affectionately “Ugly Idiot,” and it’s anything but.

Color is very light pink, lighter than many rosés but nose is full and even explosive. Reminds me of the Dujac equivalent of champagne. On the palate, the red fruits are amazing. Layers of high-toned strawberry, incredibly juicy, with lift. Not at all oxidative, Clean and fresh, it is gorgeous wine. Very intense. Very long. Very fine indeed. — 4 years ago

Wow. Nose is wide open: raspberries, blood orange peel, rose, minerals and spice. Palate has so much zingy red fruit. Day two and this has gained intensity and white pepper spice. Forget that this is a rose- it’s really so much more than that. Crystalline and elegant! — 6 years ago
