There is only one rosé that we would offer in the fall.
It belongs to a very small class of rosés that really flourish in the cellar. It shares this unique status with wines like Château Simone, Cotat, and Valentini's Cerasuolo. Catching a Tempier with 5 or more years of age is delightful.

Having placed Tempier's Rosé in this context, it's easier to grasp why we would offer a rosé in the fall. For the past few years, we've made a fall Tempier offer a tradition. Each year, the offer blows up, and we spend the next 24 hours digging our way out of emails.
Simply put, Tempier's Bandol Rosé is special. Few rosés combine deliciousness and seriousness the way that Tempier's does.
It's a wine that's seemingly loved by everyone and plays many roles for many different people. Young Tempier Rosé is absolutely delightful with enough depth and structure to stand up to almost any food that you throw at it.
The 2024 flaunts both a deep structure and a zippy freshness. The combination makes for very exciting drinking. The classic profile is on bold display—flowers, herbs, citrus, spice, and a subtle, scorched-earth minerality.
This is one of those wines that, however much you buy, you'll end up wishing that you bought more. Having said that, I should warn you that when people see Tempier on offer, they jump on it. Please give us your ideal order, and we'll try our best.
