Note di degustazione
Mainly Merlot from the Ste-Anne parcel of the second growth, designed for relatively early drinkability but sold on the basis it will still be good in 2030. Healthy evolved mid to dark garnet. Easy-peasy wine with a hint of tea leaf, lots of fruit and not much tannin or acidity. Obviously well-made wine from well-grown fruit. Just not as ambitious and concentrated as the grand vin. Nice wine but I suspect you could find a better buy without too much trouble. (JR)

The 2015 Les Tourelles de Longueville has a crisp, fresh bouquet of leafy red fruit that feels quite fragrant and graceful. The fresh palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity and hints of white pepper on the aftertaste. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.
Tasted blind. Lots of fruit and flesh but a bit dull and stodgy. Clean and fresh. Long. (JR)
The 2015 Les Tourelles de Longueville has much to offer. Bold, vibrant and impeccable in its balance, the 2015 is beautifully delineated and classy. Sweet red cherry, white pepper, leather and mint give the flavors a distinctly bright upper register of nuance. There is lovely brightness running through the Tourelles that keeps the flavors bright. The Tourelles is the chateau's Merlot-based red and is a bit of an outlier relative to the other wines in this range.
