Score 95/100 · Neal Martin (Vinous), May 2026

Usually the last Tempier cuvée to come around, the 2023 Bandol Cabassaou is utterly dark and brooding. It offers succulent black fruit, melted licorice and black olive tapenade on the nose, with a full-bodied, concentrated palate shaped by ripe tannins. There is excellent balance and verve here, making it a thoroughly delicious Bandol. For all its depth and structure, the 2023 remains impressively light on its feet. Outstanding.

Quite closed currently on the nose. Powerfully concentrated palate however, with a lovely texture. Amazing grip and intensity, wonderful structure. A really remarkable Bandol that will be phenomenal when it's ready.
