Rose, Perfected

I frankly don’t think there’s a rosé more perfect for the wine collector than Domaine Tempier Rosé. I had the great fortune of visiting the estate back in 2008 (including a wonderfully prepared meal by Lulu herself), and we were treated to all kinds of aged bottles. The one that stole the show was a magnum of 1991 Rosé. I still had plenty to learn about wine back then, but I was forever changed after thoroughly enjoying a 17-year-old rosé.

We’ve been selling Tempier Rosé for the last several years, and I actually had to rewrite this email because our usual source managed to secure a nice allocation of the 2025 release. Initially, we thought we weren’t going to get any, but fortunately a last-minute email changed that. Before locking in the 2025, we were offered more 2024, which I gladly took because it was honestly the best vintage of Tempier Rosé I’ve ever had. During a recent East Coast heat wave, I polished off the last couple of bottles I had squirreled away and am already planning to take home even more.

The 2024 is due to arrive within the next couple of weeks, with plenty of time to ship for summer drinking. The 2025 is only a few weeks behind that. Make sure to stock up today.
