Domaine Tempier Bandol Cuvée La Migoua 2016
Domaine Tempier's La Migoua terroir is located on the Beausset Vieux hillside, at an altitude of 300 metres. This 11 hectare site is the highest of the domaines terroirs and consists of scattered parcels circled by wild scrubland. The rugged relief provides different exposure to the sun (east, west and south) and is generally less affected by the strong northwesterly Mistral wind. A composition of Mourvèdre (55%), completed with Cinsault (~25%), Grenache (~15%) and Syrah, the wine is aged for a minimum of 18 months in oak prior to bottling. La Migoua tends to be the least powerful of the single terroir cuvées but it is perhaps the most complex and perfumed of the three.
