The 2017 Domaine Tempier Pour Lulu Bandol is a powerful and pure expression of Bandol, a renowned appellation in Provence famous for its red wines, particularly those made from Mourvèdre. This wine is named after Lulu Peyraud, a quick-witted co-founder of Domaine Tempier, and is considered an iconic red from a premier producer. The blend features Mourvèdre as the principal varietal, complemented by Grenache, Carignan, and Cinsault. The 2017 vintage is noted for its intense essence of spicy black and blue fruit, strong black licorice, outstanding acidity, and building tannins, suggesting excellent aging potential, possibly for decades. It's described as having a perfect balance of juicy freshness and complexity. Tasting notes often highlight ripe blackberry, herbs, leather, earthy, cocoa, tobacco, and red and black fruit notes. 【Iconic Bandol red from a premier producer】. Food pairing suggestions: This robust red is a match made in heaven with rich, fatty Korean barbecued short ribs, beef, lamb, game (deer, venison), and mushrooms. Event suggestions: Perfect for a celebratory dinner, a gathering with fellow wine enthusiasts, or an evening where a powerful, age-worthy red is desired. It's a wine that benefits from decanting and can be enjoyed now with hearty food or cellared for future enjoyment.
