The 2023 Lulu & Lucien is the soul of Domaine Tempier—an expressive, savory Bandol Rouge that balances the wildness of Mourvèdre with Mediterranean warmth and finesse. Aromas of black cherry, leather, dried herbs, and crushed violets rise from the glass, while the palate delivers layers of ripe dark fruit, garrigue, and a touch of smoked meat. Structured yet approachable in its youth, it shows fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a persistent, earthy finish touched by spice and mineral grip.
