Tasting notes
The 2024 Ode To Lulu Rose is an homage to the late Mrs. Lucie Peyraud of Domaine Tempier, better known as Lulu, who passed away in 2020 at the age of 103. The wine, which pours a pale salmon color, is a blend based around old-vine Mourvèdre from Contra Costa County, grown on sandy soils. The nose is fresh with notes of white peach, pure fresh flowers, fresh grapefruit, tarragon, and saline. It’s a medium-bodied rosé with a fantastic balance, and it captures the essence of the great wines from the south of France, which are often imitated but rarely matched. A lovely rosé, it’s refreshing now but can also hold on and drink well over the next several years.

The 2024 Ode to Lulu is as fresh and attractive as ever, if a little richer, more caressing and less steely than in recent years. A rush of sweet, ripe peach and almond opens, building accents of mint, grapefruit zest and rosemary as it wraps the mouth in a blanket of gentle acidity and fine minerality. Consistency and value are undeniable here, especially considering the 120+-year-old heritage vines Bedrock pulls this fruit from. Best of all, Lulu ages gracefully in every vintage. I see no reason why that won't be the case in 2024, especially with a little extra meat on the bones.
