The 2023 Château des Tourettes Tinus Blanc de Noirs is a beautifully distinctive and textural white wine crafted entirely from red grape varieties grown in the sun-drenched vineyards of Provence. Produced by the Brunier family of Vieux Télégraphe fame, the wine combines Mediterranean ripeness with freshness and mineral precision, offering an unusual and highly expressive Blanc de Noirs style. The nose reveals ripe pear, yellow apple and citrus peel layered alongside white flowers, subtle spice and delicate stone-like minerality, giving the wine impressive lift and complexity.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, supple texture and a finely balanced mineral core. Layers of orchard fruit, citrus and gentle savoury notes are balanced by saline freshness and subtle phenolic grip, finishing dry, energetic and beautifully persistent with excellent texture and detail. The warm Provençal climate brings generosity and fruit concentration while careful winemaking preserves freshness and clarity throughout.
