About
Long the driving force of the Bandol appellation, Tempier has entered a new phase in its evolution with the appointment of Daniel Ravier as winemaker. Daniel comes to the Domaine with extensive experience in the Bandol region. The Domaine, owned by the Tempier family since 1834, is focusing on producing exceptional wines with a great ageing potential. ‘This is Bandol at its very best: rich, profound and very long lasting.’ – Clive Coates
This Cuvee was previously called Classique but was renamed to celebrate Lulu’s 100th Birthday in 2017, when Lulu passed away in 2020 the wine was renamed to remember Lulu and her husband Lucien.
