About the Wine
La Tourbeille has been a Bordeaux wine-producing property for centuries, and home to our French American family for five generations. The 25-acre vineyard is perched on a sunny hilltop above the Dordogne River on the Côte de La Tourbeille. La Tourbeille is a small-scale family producer and creates its wines in its own winery at the vineyard. 2015, an exceptionally good year, benefitted from a long, sunny after-season. This fruit-forward vintage is a blend of 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc. The Cabernet Franc brings a whisper of violets. GOLD Medal Terre de Vins magazine Paris; GOLD Medal Bettane & Desseauve Prix Plaisir. Jury notes: “…elegant bouquet, a lovely balance of fresh red and ripe black fruit.”
