Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé Blend 2018

Ryan Mullins

With pork shoulder. If you come to Atlanta and don’t estate at bread and butterfly, were you ever even hear?

Lars Fasel

Pale salmon color. Honeysuckle, apricot, strawberry, & wet stone. Top 2 rosés in the game.

Joe Lucca

Undoubtedly my favorite rosé. Classic Bandol freshness. Traditional blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Cinsault. Ripe melon and peach candy on the nose. The melon and juicy peach flavors carry on the palate and are mixed with guava, sea salt, wet stones, and crisp minerality. This is actually a bit of a baby, will continue to develop nicely over the next few years.

So pretty. Candied orange rind, strawberry, herbs de Provence, salmon color and great acid. We revisited for another glass, Yum!

Matt Sterr

Best Rosé on the planet? Def in the convo.

Ned Gray Creed

And the competition rolls in. Rosé battle royal.

Paco Suro

White peaches.

Ely Cohn

The same Tempier game - deep, textbook, best at cellar temp for nuanced aromas and weighted viscosity. 2018 is losing its fruit, at the end of the window where hints and dried versions of fresh fruit and spices still hang around. Dried orange peel, grapefruit, peach, and soft red melon and furry raspberry.

Ely Cohn

Smoothed and softened by now. Muted strawberry and melon accents with herbs on the periphery. Faded, but weighty, concentrated, a little heat with a long goodbye.
