A major cru of Bandol, with 3 stars from the French wine guide RVF, Domaine Tempier is a true reference of Provence.

Its reputation extends far beyond the shores of the Mediterranean, with its powerful, age-worthy wines captivating generations of wine lovers for nearly a century.

A guardian of the tradition, the Peyraud family made it legendary, passing the reins to Daniel Ravier, who has continued to elevate it to the highest levels and began its resurgence. Transitioning to organic farming, preserving old vines, and fully renovating the barrel park have all solidified its lead.
