Château Les Tourelles, Bordeaux Rouge

Bottle notes

Bought in 1938 by Jean Darriet, 6th generation of winemakers, this 10.5 ha estate is on the Bordeaux - Toscane Countryside. Called as a Toscane, the countryside is very hilly.

Based on nice slopes, the red variety has been planted around the castle on good gravel terroir and natural drainage. This wine, coming from an exceptional terroir, is showing all his ageing potential.

Tasting Notes

Enticing aromas of fresh red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry with a strawberry jam note. The wine is aged for 12 months in stainless steel meaning those juicy primary characters are preserved with a nice fresh acidity. Onto the palate, more darker fruits emerge like blackberry and blueberry. A easy-drinking youthful style of Bordeaux.

Food pairing

Pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a hearty beef stew.
