Originating from the esteemed Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation, the 2019 Château Tournefeuille reflects the unique terroir of Néac. This vintage is crafted predominantly from Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc, sourced from vines averaging over 30 years in age. The vineyard's southwest-facing slopes, characterized by clay and gravel soils, contribute to the wine's depth and complexity. Traditional vinification in thermoregulated concrete vats, followed by 12 months of aging in French oak barrels, results in a wine of remarkable balance and finesse. The 2019 vintage offers a deep ruby hue, with an aromatic bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, subtle floral notes, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied experience with velvety tannins, flavors of plum, black cherry, and hints of cocoa, leading to a long, satisfying finish. This wine pairs excellently with roasted meats, game dishes, and mature cheeses, making it a versatile choice for various culinary occasions.

Leuke weetjes & USP's:
De Hoogte opzoeken: De naam 'Tournefeuille' verwijst naar de wind die op de heuvel van Néac de bladeren doet draaien. Deze hoogte (voor Bordeaux-begrippen) zorgt voor een constante ventilatie, wat cruciaal is voor de gezondheid van de druiven en de frisheid in de wijn.
Buren van Wereldformaat: Als u op de heuvel van Tournefeuille staat en een steen gooit naar het zuiden, landt deze nagenoeg in de wijngaarden van Château Pétrus en Château Gazin. De kwaliteit van de grond is nagenoeg identiek.
Duurzaamheid: De familie Petit werkt met enorm veel respect voor de biodiversiteit in de wijngaard, wat zich vertaalt in wijnen die 'leven' en hun terroir eerlijk weerspiegelen.
