La Tourbeille Wines

La Tourbeille Rosé, “l’Esprit de Jeanne”  

Bordeaux ROSé
In the cool of September dawn, family and friends gather to harvest our special parcel of
vieilles vignes  (70-year-old vines).  We assemble Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to create a limited edition Rosé.  Using a gentle pneumatic press as soon as the grapes are harvested ensures the pale pink color, delicate aromas and notes of summer berries. A manual brassage des lies  at the end of fermentation brings a subtle gras to the texture.   “L’Esprit de Jeanne” is elegant, dry and refreshing.

 Selected by VINOGUSTO  as one of the “Top Ten Rosés of Bordeaux;”    GOLD Medal Paris Wine Cup.
