Domain Tourbillon

Although I don't write about or review wineries, it is nice to make others aware about some nice ones when in the area of Violès in the Luberon region of the Provence. Domaine Tourbillon is a distinguished winery located in Lagnes. Founded by the grandparents of current owner and winemaker Benjamin Tourbillon, the estate has a rich history rooted in viticulture.

Benjamin continued the family tradition with a deep respect for heritage, combining modern techniques with traditional methods to produce wines that express the unique characteristics of their terroirs. The estate has expanded and modernized its cellar and winemaking facilities, allowing for meticulous vinification processes. Each parcel is vinified separately with precise temperature control, and the wines undergo aging in oak barrels to enhance their complexity.

Domaine Tourbillon offers a range of wines from prestigious appellations, including Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, Plan de Dieu, and Côtes-du-Rhône. The estate is known for producing characterful wines that have received critical acclaim. For instance, their "Confidentiel" Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2019 has been noted for its aromatic profile of honey, herbs, flowers, and peach, with a structured and deep palate.

Visitors to Domaine Tourbillon can enjoy wine tastings in their contemporary tasting room, which features an impressive wall of barrels. The estate also offers a gourmet boutique showcasing a variety of artisanal and local products, such as olive oil, tapenades, biscuits, and more.

The estate's commitment to quality and respect for tradition, combined with modern innovation, make Domaine Tourbillon a notable producer in the Southern Rhône wine region.
