2018 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc - Domaine Tourbillon
Domaine Tourbillon is a family estate founded by the Reynaud family in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, working organically across 15 hectares of old vines. Their white Châteauneuf is rare - the appellation produces only around 7% white wine - making this one of the southern Rhône's most distinctive expressions.
Grape varieties: A traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape white blend - Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Bourboulenc and Clairette.
Terroir: The famous galets roulés (rolled pebbles) and red clay soils of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape plateau, baked by the southern Rhône sun and cooled by the Mistral.
Vinification: Hand-harvested grapes are gently pressed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and oak, with a portion aged on fine lees for added texture.
COLOUR: Bright pale gold.
NOSE: White peach, citrus, white flowers, fennel and a hint of beeswax.
PALATE: Rich and textured yet fresh, with a creamy mid-palate, balanced acidity and a long, mineral-driven finish.
FOOD PAIRING: Excellent with grilled fish, lobster, poultry in cream sauce and Provençal vegetable dishes. Serve at 11-13°C.
