Domaine de la Tournelle, Fleur de Savagnin VO 2019 MAGIC PACK
Place: Jura, France
Grape: Savagnin
Vibe: Electrifying
Extended elevage and time in the Tournelle cellar... Can only be a good thing right?
Savagnin that is full of finesse. Hand-sorted grapes see a gentle pressing before starting their ferment in tanks. Moved over into oak to complete malo and then regularly topped up until deemed ready, in this case 60 months.
Grown over grey marl means, and such a signature salinity really runs through the wine and would make it an ideal canditate for ageing, if you're into that sort of thing. If you're impatient like me then just give this a carafe and an evening of deep contemplation. One of the last vintages made before Pascal's tragic passing.
This pack includes:
1 x Tournelle, Fleur de Savagnin VO 2019
1 x Tournelle, Tournelle, Trousseau des Corvées 2022
