Description
This lovely estate dates from the mid-18th century and was acquired by the Petit and the Cambier families in 1998. Tournefeuille means turning leaves: the chteau is exceptionally well-located on a breezy hill in the commune of Nac. Chteau Tournefeuille [turn-uh-foy] benefits from an extraordinary terroir typical of the Pomerol region and overlooks some of Pomerols most prestigious chteau (Petrus is a close neighbor). In the early years, owner Mr. Emeric Petit was assisted by the famous oenologist Mr. Jean-Claude Brruet (of Chteau Petrus) and Ms. Catherine Cohen. Today, Emeric is a rising star and making a name for himself with his consistently excellent wines. Tournefeuille is a lovely boutique estate and a prime example of the new wave of attractively priced, outstanding wine coming from the right bank of Bordeaux. Emeric also owns and manages estates in Pomerol and St. Emilion.
Light, bright strawberries and raspberries here. Impressive freshness and fragrance. The palate has lively acidity, as well as smooth, fine and firm tannins. Drink or hold.
