Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé 2009

Domaine Tempier

Absolutely one of the greatest rosé producers in the world, Tempier consistently creates some of the deepest and most complex rosés you will ever try. 

Their 2009 vintage offers great weight, a defined core of Cherries and rasberries, nuances of light limestone and other minerals, impressive structure and a refreshing crispness. This is a rosé not to miss this season.
