Château Tour Blanc

France

Southwest

Located in Parleboscq, this château stands somewhere in a verdant space where the delightfully tightly-packed branches of loquacious vines curl. These chat with the groves whose murmuring has earned the place its name*, mix their old-fashioned words with the bleating of the lambs raised organically on the estate, and guide Sandra and Philip Kelton in their wine production.

Our production philosophy is to make wines in which nature can express all its energy and beauty, free from additions, retouching and manipulation. 
Sandra and Philip Kelton, Château Tour Blanc

There's no doubt that these sometimes silent exchanges are a shared delight. The proof is in the juices from Château Tour Blanc. "Unforgettable" and "Unique" are the words we hear from oenologists and wine merchants alike. And the estate sets itself apart by growing only Ugni Blanc. 

Sandra and Philip's Ecocert-certified organic farming techniques are in harmony with the rejection of pesticides and inputs. In keeping with their philosophy of sobriety, the duo work with low yields and little technology. The grapes are harvested by hand, and the pressing is done by hand. pianissimo and vinification using indigenous yeasts. Finally, as careful parents, the winemakers give the vintages time in bottle to mature in the cellars where they were born.

For the more precise among you, you still need to see the map on chateautourblanc.com to discover the descriptions of these natural wines. Poetic and precise, they'll give you the oenological vocabulary you're looking for. Otherwise, go for it - the white season is never over!

* Not at all. Or perhaps. Let's say yes, for poetry. Yes, it is! These were the itinerant poets who, on the clearest of nights, listened from the top of the château to the haunting song of the mythical white thrushes in the vineyards below, stopping every year on their way to Spain to refuel.  on the grapes from October onwards, which is how the place got its name: Turdus from Latin becomes tourdre in Occitan, meaning "white thrush".
