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.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Château Tournefeuille Château La Révérence Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is an exceptional wine that showcases the elegance and complexity of the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru.On the nose, this wine offers a captivating bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of cedar and tobacco. The aromas are well-integrated and provide a sense of depth and sophistication. The palate is equally impressive, with a velvety texture and a harmonious balance between fruit, tannins, and acidity. The flavors of blackcurrants, cherries, and dark chocolate unfold gracefully, leaving a long and memorable finish. Château Tournefeuille Château La Révérence Saint-Émilion Grand Cru is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential for further aging. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
