Tasting Notes

This wine embodies the spirit of old vines, with juices aged in vats to balance the youthful fruitiness with the richness of a fuller-bodied wine, smooth and without harsh edges. Produced by a family estate, it’s named after the two daughters and reflects the character of the old vineyards, offering spice and silk without any astringency. Bursting with fruity nuances and the warmth of sunshine, the wine’s expressive nose reveals aromas of red fruit jelly, blueberry jam, and a touch of green pepper. On the palate, it boasts a full-bodied structure, fine tannins, and lingering flavours of blueberry.

Château Tour Boisee

Château Tour Boisée is a family estate with a rich history dating back to 1826, symbolized by a medieval tower from the 12th century. Located in the Laure-Minervois region, the estate’s vineyards thrive across varied micro-climates, with more than twenty grape varieties flourishing on soils of clay and sandstone between 90 and 220 meters in altitude. Since 2010, the estate has embraced organic farming, with hand-harvested grapes and a commitment to ancestral practices. Wine production is guided by the rhythms of the moon, with minimal intervention. Grapes are destemmed and blended according to ripeness. The estate's wines are a true expression of the land's soul, blending tradition with creativity.
