Bandol Rouge is one of the world’s greatest crossover wines. It’s New World-esq’ power is perfectly tempered by the nuanced, earthy and savoury characteristics which are quintessentially Old World. Thanks to the region’s limestone soil, Bandol’s red wines have a distinct freshness and fine structure, appealing to those who love the classically styled wines of the Rhône.
Tempier’s La Migoua comes from clay soils on the estate’s highest plots. The wine is aged in large oak casks for 18 months minimum before bottling. Now 10 years old, it has just entered the perfect drinking window. Dark, taut, laced with stewed blackcurrant, blackberry compote and macerated black cherry flavours. Delicious and complex layers of tobacco, mineral gravelly stone and liquorice. Long finish supported by a core mineral backbone that structures this superb wine from the Tempier estate.
