Made from select lieux-dits, this Châteauneuf has aromas of rich black cherries and preserves with subtle hints of dried tea leaves and a savoury accent. Full-bodied and structured, it showcases ripe tannins and mature fruit flavours seamlessly integrated with cracked pepper and traces of garrigue herbs (rosemary and thyme). Adding depth to the wine's classic charm is a lingering liquorice note on the finish.
Established in 1930, Domaine Tour Saint Michel has remained a cherished family property since the very beginning. Founded by Michel Fabre, who acquired the original vines still in use today, the legacy was passed to his son, Henri. Together with his wife, Eliane, they cultivated and expanded the estate over the years. Presently, the Domaine encompasses 44 hectares, including 30 hectares in the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. Since 2007, Mireille has overseen the vineyards, honouring familial traditions while embracing a modern approach. She is joined by her daughter, Magali, in upholding the tradition of excellence into the future.
Great with hearty dishes like slow roast leg of lamb, lamb tagine, or rib of beef.
