Domaine Tempier Bandol Rouge ‘Lulu & Lucien’ 2022

Drink or cellarRed wineFrance91 pointsCork

The soul of Bandol in a bottle 🍷🌊

Domaine Tempier is the benchmark estate of Bandol—the sun-soaked Provençal appellation where Mourvèdre reigns supreme. Revered by collectors and sommeliers alike, Tempier’s reds are as authentic as they come, built on tradition, organic farming, and an unwavering respect for their Mediterranean terroir.

The 2022 ‘Lulu & Lucien’ is their signature Bandol Rouge, named in honour of the estate’s legendary custodians. A blend anchored by old-vine Mourvèdre, with Grenache, Cinsault and small amounts of Carignan and Syrah adding lift and charm, it’s rich and savoury yet full of energy. Expect red fruit, herbs and spice, framed by silky, fine tannins and a long finish.

Cellar it to watch the complexity unfold or open now—either way you'll be tasting one of Provence’s most celebrated red wine.

What the experts say about this wine

91
points

"Shows a seductive prettiness, with violet and spice box notes layered with crunchy red plum and graphite shavings, plus flickers of Mourvèdre meatiness. Oak sits nicely in the backdrop, while salty, savory acidity buoys this along and brings freshness to the finish, which is marked by silky, polished tannins. Drink now through 2032."
