WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Tournefeuille Château La Révérence Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a meticulously crafted wine from the prestigious Saint-Émilion appellation. Produced with a blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Franc, it reflects the careful viticulture of Château Tournefeuille, which employs sustainable practices such as manual leaf thinning, mechanical weeding, and green harvesting. Hand-harvested grapes undergo precise vinification in small stainless steel tanks and 400-liter barrels, with techniques like cold pre-fermentation maceration and malolactic fermentation in barrels. Aged for 14 months, with 40% in new oak, the wine achieves a rich balance of fruit and structure. This Grand Cru offers a refined, full-bodied style with vibrant aromas and a smooth, elegant finish.
