Australie Tournon Lady's Lane Chapoutier 2008

The wine

Far from his native Rhone valley, Michel Chapoutier has produced this 100% Shiraz in an extremely rare terroir of red soils which date back to the Cambrian era. While avoiding over-ripeness, he macerates the bunches and gently extracts the juice in order to obtain silky tannins. Its extremely refined tannic structure which melds with aromas of ripe fruits, spices, and caramel make for a powerful and elegant wine.

About the Producer Tournon

True to his pioneering spirit, Michel Chapoutier, a wine producer and negociant from the Rhône Valley, has set off in search of new terroirs, notably in Australia. He has settled on the Victoria Province in the Pyrenees appellation and joined forces with two major winemaking families, who share their expertise with him. Working with them, he has purchased two vineyards – Shays Flat and Landsborough – where he grows exceptional Shiraz grapes. Tournon is one of these domaines.
