TASTING NOTE

Les Tourelles de Longueville 2018 reveals a wonderfully intense ruby red colour.

The nose offers aromas of very ripe red fruit, black cherry and mild spices. The attack is silky, delicate and smooth. The persistent, subtle and intense finish is underpinned by the freshness of the fruit. The tannins are fresh and harmonious. As a whole it is full, opulent and luscious. It is a well-balanced wine, accessible and vigorous, elegant and powerful.
