Domaine Tempier

Bandol Rosé Blend 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2022 pours a pale coral color with a transparent core; medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with a refreshing mix of tart and ripe red fruits; strawberry, watermelon dry underbrush, red flowers, and wet stone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry; tannins are light with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and saline. Lovely texture. This continues to be a benchmark for rosé. Drink now through 2032. — 2 months ago

@Raun Kupiec both Pibarnon and Pradeaux make great Provencial rosé too. both LdH Tondonia Rosado and Chateau Musar Rosé are in the same category

I know the Musar Reds from the Bekaa Valley. Really excellent. Didn’t know they did a rosé, it if it is anything like their red it must be wonderful.

@Raun Kupiec it’s actually more close in resemblance to their Blanc but yes, lovely stuff.

Ultreia La Claudina Bierzo Godello 2020

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. Although this is Godello from Bierzo, this was meant to be a fun counter example to Sketch which is arguably a bit unique when it comes to Raul Pérez’s typical style. The 2020 “La Claudina” pours a deeper straw color with notes of lemons, grapefruit, Brazil nuts, hazel nuts (yeah, it’s definitely more in the oxidative style) and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and saline with a slightly sherried, creamy texture. Charming stuff and definitely something I would like to track over time. Enjoy now through 2035. — 6 months ago
