The key to longevity according to legendary Lulu:
“I never drink water. I don’t want to rust. Only rosé, young red wine and champagne.” – Lulu Tempier, 102 years old.
55% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache, 20% Cinsault. The crème de la crème of rosés. Incredibly delicious with hints of nectarine, strawberry and white grapefruit. This is a gastronomic rosé, something to share around a dinner table with friends and family. This is also one of the few age-worthy rosés produced.

“The thing about Domaine Tempier’s Bandol rosé is that every time you open a bottle—no matter how many you’ve uncorked in your lifetime—it feels like a special occasion.” – Jane Berg
Wine is a lifestyle and when treated carefully and respectfully, it may just be the key to longevity. It is for Lulu Peyraud. Lulu is the 103 year old matriarch of Domaine Tempier in Bandol, France. She is 4’10, best friends with Alice Waters and a true idol in the world of wine. We had the privilege of meeting her two summers ago when a tasting appointment at the Domaine turned into rosé and scrabble on the patio with Lulu herself. Her eyes are kind and her demeanor is regal in the most un-intimidating way. She has lived longer than most and when asked the secret to her longevity she answered with firm certainty and an endearing smirk; “I never drink water. I don’t want to rust. Only rosé, young red wine and champagne.” The facetious comment was greeted with some laughs and the true answer to that question was revealed without ever being said.
