THE TOURNEFEUILLE VINEYARDS

A stunning setting, a warm welcome, great wine and flawless service on the part of our hosts. We loved the tour + tasting as well as our night in the guestroom where we were lucky enough to be the only ones in the house. Our hosts allowed us to choose our own room (number 5 with its magnificent bathtub) and prepared breakfast for us at our preferred time. You can explore the estate and the land surrounding the château on foot and Saint Emilion is five minutes away by car. It was our first experience of wine tourism and we would highly recommend it.

We were lucky enough to celebrate our daughter’s baptism in this beautiful place. We had a wonderful weekend in a charming, very clean and tastefully decorated setting. Our thanks to Mrs Petit for her kindness.

Château Tournefeuille 2017

A good proportion of Cabernet Franc was one of the keys to the success of this Lalande, surprisingly interwoven with subtle and chalky tannins. The nose was brawny and a little austere. Definitely one to look out for.

 We had one of our most enjoyable stays in your Maison des Vendangeurs. We loved everything: the house, the countryside, the vineyards, the wine... Since we got back to Quebec, we haven’t stopped singing the praises of your house and hospitality !

We spent a lovely week here with our family and really made the most of our days spent in the heart of this beautiful setting, surrounded by these prestigious vineyards. The children really enjoyed the family swimming pool and the sunny weather made our trip just perfect. Warm regards.

We had a wonderful stay at Tournefeuille. We would have stayed longer if we could. Virginie’s care and kindness ensured we had a very happy and comfortable stay. The house is practically located for visiting Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, Arcachon and Bergerac. We would love to visit again.

A peaceful night in a beautiful setting gave us a chance to recharge our batteries. We were very touched by the welcome that we received. We really appreciated our hosts’ desire to look after us and the passion they have for their craft. Our most heartfelt thanks.

Calm, tranquillity, peace... Thank you for the meticulous attention to every detail: reception, family, decoration, setting. We had a lovely stay, thanks for your invaluable advice, tact and the gift you have for perfectly coordinating everything in your home.

The perfect balance between a charming location and great hospitality. Would strongly recommend !

A slow-paced stay in the calm and serenity of your charming home. Thank you so much for your hospitality, your thoughtfulness and your words of wisdom; may Saint Vincent guide you and protect this new harvest.

Took a tour of Château Tournefeuille in Lalande de Pomerol last week. One of the rare local estates (which tend to be very flat) to have nice south-facing slopes, just opposite the Pomerol plateau. This Rosalcy is one of the estate’s basic wines from the vines at the bottom of the slopes. A fruity wine with a slight woodiness, nicely expressive. Not particularly concentrated but with a pleasant mellowness, without too much astringency. It’s nicely done but the price-to-quality ratio isn’t anything outstanding.

Château Tournefeuille 2016

A very nice, classic pairing. !👌😋Château Tournefeuille 2016 Lalande de Pomerol, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, vines opposite the village of Pomerol, separating them from a very prestigious estate on the other side of the La Barbanne river, P.....😉 with (organic) rack of lamb from the Ferme du Mont Rouge (71🇫🇷 ) cooked sous vide for one hour at 56.5°C (133°F). Gratin just like Mama Martray’s, without cream, onions and poultry stock. 😋 😋 😋 Château Tournefeuille 2016 is a very well-balanced wine with an intense and velvety fruitiness like a coulis, subtly oaky, a Lalande de Pomerol has one of the best price-to-pleasure ratios of any Bordelais wine.

La Cure 2016

Very good, a great vintage from a great year. Nice work !

La Révérence 2016

Very, very good, nice density and length, pairs perfectly with a prime rib of beef.

Definitely one of our favourite tours. A warm welcome and an outstanding location with a stunning view of the estate. The tour was very well adapted to our level of knowledge and to our expectations. The tasting was also outstanding with delicious wines! I would definitely recommend and thank you for such a memorable time on the estate.
