Although the Migoua commands a higher price, in my opinion it is the Tourtine that represents Tempier?s best cuvee. A wonderful, ebullient nose of blackberry, cherry, hedgerow and an almost savoury character. The palate has sublime balance and greater minerality than other cuvees; vigorous, utterly harmonious with a well-defined, wonderful poised finish. Outstanding. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025
