Le « Muscat by Laurent BOLOGNA »

This wine creation puts the spotlight on this highly aromatic grape: Muscat. Developed from a white muscat grape with small berries and seeds, this highly refined wine, with a lovely freshness and very slightly sweetened, is a perfect apéritif wine. A lovely golden colour, with a muscat nose with lychee and floral nuances. On the palate, the fruitiness of the muscat grape blends with the sweetness, over a lovely aromatic persistence.

Cuvée Marie-Nicole

Les Tournels is a family story, indeed of the Bologna family. The Cuvée Marie-Nicole cuvée pays tribute to Marie-Nicole Bologna, who celebrates her 100th birthday this year. She, together with her husband Angelin Bologna, was behind the construction of the wine storehouse on the Domaine des Tournels vineyard in the 1930s.

A first for the Domaine, with this cuvée having a rosé wine-making process developed in casks! From a selection of our best fragmented parcels, this limited edition cuvée with only 1,721 bottles of 75 cl and 100 magnums, is the fruit of continuous research into wine excellence on the Domaine des Tournels vineyard. This wine is developed from three grapes (cinsault, grenache and rolle) blended when harvested. Fermentation takes place in cold temperature-controlled conditions in the casks.

The result is on a par with the human investment made: an elegant wine with a pale pink colour, revealing a complex aromatic range over white flesh fruits. A rosé de garde (to be stored) with a superb entirely refined tannic structure, and a lovely persistent finish.

Consume with lamb shoulder and vegetable curry, sliced raw sea bream marinated in lemon juice with fresh ginger, summer truffle pizza.
