Domaine Tempier

Domaine Tempier, founded in 1834, is owned by the Peyraud family. It is one of the few family-owned wineries from the mid-19th century to have retained its full authenticity. Located in the heart of the Bandol appellation in Provence, Domaine Tempier’s vineyard spans 38 hectares spread across several plots, nestled between the sea and steep, sun-drenched slopes.

Domaine Tempier is currently led by Xavier Ravier, who carries on the tradition. The vineyard is managed according to biodynamic principles by Jean-Philippe Fourney, the vineyard manager, with the aim of harnessing the energy of the soil and natural elements to promote the vines’ flourishing.Domaine Tempier is currently in the process of obtaining certifications. In the cellar, the estate has remained faithful to the tradition of aging its AOC Bandol wines in large oak casks. At the heart of the vineyard, Mourvèdre reigns supreme in the production of great red wines with aging potential. The Migoua and Tourtine cuvées are the estate’s two rare single-vineyard wines.
