DOMAINE TEMPIER - Migoua 2020
Domaine Tempier is located in Provence in the Bandol appellation. The estate was created in 1830 but fully revealed itself under the influence of Léonie Tempier in 1885 when she won a gold medal for her red wine made from Mourvèdre. Domaine Tempier suffered the phylloxera crisis at the beginning of the 20th century, so new grape varieties were planted. In 1941, Bandol became an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée , one of the regulations of which was to produce wines with a minimum of 50% Mourvèdre , and aging for 18 months in barrels for red wines. Today, Domaine Tempier cultivates vines in sustainable agriculture in three municipalities and produces four wines.
La Migoua is a plot cuvée from the Domaine. It is a blend of Mourvèdre (55%), Cinsault (25%), Grenache (15%) and Syrah from a high-altitude terroir on the Beausset-Vieux massif . The vinification is traditional with total destemming and indigenous yeasts. The aging is carried out in tuns for a minimum of 18 months before bottling. It offers an aging potential of 5 to 20 years according to individual tastes.
