Presentation
Vines and old vines from this vineyard, whether from the mid-slopes or from the heart of the “Clos”, provide the wine with elegance and a unique aromatic finesse.
Ageing
We ferment the whole crop (no de stemming) with indigenous yeast. Ageing takes place in oak casks for 15 months. Bottling takes place without filtration.
The vintage
The 2010 Vintage was the combination of all the necessary conditions needed to produce an exceptional vintage. The spring’s heavy rainfalls left place for a very hot summer followed by an Indian summer, ideal for the harvest period. This vintage makes very balanced wines, with intense fruit aromas and great finesse.

Location
The “Domaine des Tourelles” is located at the foot of the village of Gigondas. The vineyard, which includes a “Clos” directly next to the Property and the village, is orientated north west and enjoys a cool microclimate which allows late harvests.
Terroir
The vineyard’s soils are calcareous, with a very specific sandy matrix, which can be felt more specifically within the “clos”.
