The wine
The style of Les Tourelles de Longueville unites the breeding of the Pichon Baron terroir with the elegance of the grape varieties. The Sainte Anne terroir, 14 ha, provides the production of Les Tourelles de Longueville. Drawn from a selection of plots planted mainly to Merlot, this wine thus has a personality of its own.
Terroir
"A luscious, seductive nose, with smoky mocha notes wrapping around ripe fruit. The palate is generous and sumptuous, caressing, succulent and supple, with a slaty, cocoa-tinged finish to lick your lips over." - Le Figaro (translated from the French)
