Very fragrant. Sweet and floral on the nose.
First taste has a nice tartness that quickly evolves in luscious mango, passionfruit and peach. The aftertaste is floral with tones of Jasmin and Frangipani. — 3 years ago

Rubber, frangipani, lillies, clementine, white peach, candied grapefruit, slight honey. Quite dry, crushed slate like feels in the palate. Good finish, length is okay. Works wonders with pork. — 6 years ago

Cabernet Franc on the label with a spicy 15% SMV blended into this wine. A strange mix that seems to work perfectly. A Jasmine / Frangipani floral, yet spicy nose with super silky tannins. A real crowd pleaser with a quaffable finish. — 3 years ago

Sexy and seductive, with black and red stone fruits (black cherry especially), frangipani, marzipan, and that ethereal icing sugar sweetness that comes with age. Just a beautiful Burgundy with the hallmarks of the Mei-Camuzet style. Still lots left in the tank for this one, thought sadly my last bottle — 6 years ago

1998. The last of a case, and drunk with La Migoua of the same vintage, also the last of a case. La Tourtine has a higher percentage of Mourvedre (maybe 80%) and about about 10% each of Cinsault and Grenache, plus a dash of Syrah. This was lighter in colour, red fading to orange with a hint of brown, and initially more reticent on the nose. Like the Migoua, it evolved massively over several hours, and more than once I was questioning whether I'd poured the wrong wine into the wrong glass. (I hadn't.) Ultimately, I preferred the precision in the Tourtine, its fresheness and its subtle blend of black cherry, frangipani, citric peel, and apples maybe just turning to cider. One could very easily have called it as a Barolo. These impressions on the nose translated very nicely onto the palate, and there was just the right amount of acidity to sear the flavours into the memory. Such a great privilege to try these two cuvees side by side in their 20th year. — 6 years ago

Frangipani, lime zest, lome candy, tonic water touch of aged characters coming through of slight rubber and kero. Good length, slight chalky mouthfeel. Crisp acid. — 7 years ago
