2019 Domaine Tourbillon 'Cuvée 1947' - Châteauneuf-du-Pape - 6 Bottles (0.75L)

6 bottles of Châteauneuf-du-Pape Domaine TOURBILLON 2019 Cuvée 1947. Our Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvée "1947" owes its name to the year the vines were planted. It comes from the Pignan district and is made in a single varietal from Grenache; it is a wine of exceptional purity and remarkable intensity. The district, located on sandy and light soils, is renowned for producing wines of outstanding finesse, with a clear and precise expression of the Grenache grape. This single-varietal Grenache Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a perfect example of the purity and elegance this grape can offer, especially when grown in such a renowned terroir as Pignan and carefully aged in old Burgundian barrels. It is ideal to accompany refined dishes such as duck breast, grilled meats, or aged cheeses. The first nose is generous and complex, revealing aromas of ripe red fruit. You can detect sour cherry, wild strawberry, and raspberry. Subtle notes of dark fruit such as plum and blackcurrant are added, along with floral hints evoking rose and violet. Aging in old Burgundian barrels for 18 months brings a light woody touch, with nuances of blond tobacco, cacao, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, this wine shows great elegance, with a silky texture and good depth. The Grenache expresses itself fully, offering a voluptuous roundness and remarkable concentration. The tannins are fine, melted, and very well integrated, highlighting the softness and richness of the fruit. Red fruit notes dominate, accompanied by spicy and peppery nuances typical of Grenache, as well as subtle woody touches brought by aging in Burgundian barrels. The finish is long, marked by a fine freshness and discreet minerality that balance the wine’s richness. The red fruit aromas and the spicy notes persist pleasantly, leaving an impression of finesse and harmony. This wine has remarkable aging potential, with promises of evolution toward more tertiary aromas of leather and undergrowth over time. See my other listings on Catawiki
