The 2024 Château des Tourettes Tinus Grand Blanc Plateau de l'Aigle is a beautifully refined and mineral-driven white from high-altitude vineyards in Provence, crafted by the Brunier family of Vieux Télégraphe fame. Sourced from the cooler Plateau de l'Aigle site, the wine combines Mediterranean ripeness with freshness and tension, delivering a more focused and structured expression than many southern French whites. The nose reveals preserved lemon, white peach and ripe pear layered alongside white flowers, fennel and subtle stony minerality, giving the wine impressive lift and precision.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, layered texture and a finely detailed mineral core. Layers of citrus, orchard fruit and delicate savoury complexity are balanced by saline freshness and gentle phenolic grip, finishing long, poised and beautifully persistent with excellent energy and balance. The elevated vineyard position contributes freshness and definition, allowing the wine to retain clarity and finesse despite the warm Provençal climate.
