Château Tournefeuille C315 Ouest 2022
As you might have guessed with the shape of the bottle, this wine is vinified and aged in amphorae for 9 months with no added sulphur. C315 is the map reference of Tournefeuille and Ouest somehow refers to the balanced, ethereal and tempered style. Tournefeuille (turn leaf) refers to the action of the breeze that passes gently down the gulley of the Barbanne, a small river that forms the boundary of Pomerol. The emphasis is on bright and well integrated acidity whilst retaining that classic Merlot flesh and weight. An outstanding vintage and, with this style of wine making, drinking well from now and for a decade more. We recommend aerating for an hour before serving.
Tasting: Full bodied, ripe red fruity aromas, sweet spices, vanilla with velvety tannins
Pairings: A beef bourguignon or a duck breast will go perfectly with this wine. Refined cheeses, such as the comté or the brie de Meaux. Duck confit or a porcini dish will also delight.
