Domaine Tempier

by

Daniel Ravier

COUNTRY: France
REGION: Provence
APPELLATION: AOC Bandol

The terroirs of Domaine Tempier are varied and complex and form a patchwork of different parcels each with geologically diverse soil and spread over a 60-hectare area. The domaine has diversified topologies and exposures as well as old vines. La Bastide au Plan du Castellet, la Migoua, la Tourtine, Cabassaou… 

Each terroir is recognized for its individuality and tended with care so that its entire personality is expressed through four great cuvées. Domaine Tempier has always been respectful and faithful to Mother Nature. The entire farming process is aligned to the rhythm of the seasons and the lunar calendar. This fidelity to the pioneering spirit is kept alive today both in the vineyards and in the cellar. 

Domaine Tempier has always worked according to biological methods because that is how they believe it should be and there is a great importance that is attached to the terroir, and organic techniques are used to maintain this respect for nature and the surrounding ecosystems. This commitment also means that the estate is in the process of becoming organically certified

Wine Region:

Provence

The first vineyards in France were established about 2,000 years ago in Provence. Located in the southeastern part of France and hemmed in by the Mediterranean Sea, Rhone river, and Côte d'Azur, much of the area receives a lot of sun – there are relatively mild winters and dry summers, although microclimes and weather variations exist. Provencal winds, which can go as fast as a hundred kilometers per hour, are cold and dry. 

The landscape of Provence is typically garrigue – a short scrubland rooted in shore-adjacent limestone – and dense oak thickets. The warm climate and craggy landscapes host many prominent grapes, although mostly hostile to large-scale agriculture. No wines of repute were made in Provence to about the 1970s, up until new methods and technologies that then grew better grape varietals were introduced to mostly create rosés.
