WINE MAKING PROCESS
Les Tourelles de Longueville 2019 undergoes traditional Bordeaux vinification. The grapes are fermented, likely in a mix of stainless steel and oak vats, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels to develop its structure and complexity. The harvest in 2019 was influenced by favorable weather conditions, allowing for the selection of ripe grapes.
