Le vin de Château de Touvent
The Château de Touvent wine results from the care we take with the vine yard, the characteristics of its "terroir", the weather conditions in between two harvests, and much more things indeed...
It would be preposterous to believe that everything is under control!
Our vine varietals split 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot Noir, the most typical varietals to be found in Bordeaux fine wines.

Château de Touvent 2002 has a straight purple colour, a faint nose with a herbal touch, while the mouth is broad and generous. Not so long yet, it is a well balanced wine, with some acidity in the finale that augurs of its ability for aging. Tasted now when it is still a young wine, it takes from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety a hint of sweet pepper where the merlot gives out some red fruit taste. Complex and not so tannic, it has a feminine nature in it. We are eager to see it aging although it should be at its best in 2008.

Château de Touvent 2003 differs from the previous vintage. A very promising wine with a marked nose, without default, its mouth has a lot more concentration and "thickness". Seducing by its straightforward attack, its tannins smelt into caramel, milk aromas. As such a wine from the "bordelais". Not so acid, as a result of 2003 summer overheat in France, one could say it has a male temper. Over time aromatic complexity shall appear
