2010 Les Tourelles de Longueville, Pauillac

Les Tourelles de Longueville, Pauillac
This has been one of the most sumptuous, rich, verging-on-decadent wines with one of, if not the, best price tags in Bordeaux over the last 10 years, and this is the finest example to date. Crafted for early drinking, this is one of our top five value wines of 2010.
(60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon)

Good smoky cassis fruit, impressive vineyard ripeness and good Pauillac depth.

Mainly from the west part of the vineyard where they have more Merlot. Picked from 27 Sep and right through to mid Oct. Sumptuous nose. Pretty thin on the middle. Does definitely taste like a second wine. About half will be bottled under screwcap. ‘Started this in 2004 and so we can do a very interesting mini vertical of both which often confounds those with fixed positions.’ Very dry on the end. A bit scrawny.

Les Tourelles de Longueville, Pauillac
The second wine, the 2010 Les Tourelles de Longueville, is a gorgeous, plump, fat fruit bomb with oodles of black currants, cherries, spice box, roasted herbs and a hint of barbecue smoke. It is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and like a lot of second wines, is meant to be drunk as soon as it’s released, although it’s capable of lasting at least a decade or more.

Les Tourelles de Longueville, Pauillac
Offers a tight beam of damson plum and black currant fruit, with notes of sweet spice. A streak of tobacco emerges on the finish. Approachable, but has some grip too. Not just a ready-to-go charmer. This represents 50 percent of the crop. Tasted non-blind.
