ABOUT THIS WINE

Named in honor of Lucien and Lulu Peyraud, the “Lulu & Lucien” cuvée represents the heart of Domaine Tempier’s Bandol Rouge tradition. Crafted predominantly from Mourvèdre, with support from Grenache and Cinsault, the wine showcases the classic Bandol terroir — limestone soils, warm Mediterranean climate, and an artisanal approach in the cellar. The 2022 vintage is vinified with minimal intervention and aged in large foudres, resulting in a wine that reflects the essence of Provence with both richness and finesse.
