What grape varieties does the Tempier estate use in its Bandol wines?
The Tempier estate relies on an exceptional Var terroir and a rigorous selection of grape varieties. The vines are composed of very old varieties of Mourvèdre, Carignan, Cinsault and Grenache for the reds and rosés, while the white is made predominantly from Clairette, complemented by Ugni Blanc, Bourboulenc, Rolle and Marsanne. Mourvèdre is the estate's king grape variety, bringing the reds their power, structure and remarkable ageing potential.
