Pavillon La Tourelle – Bordeaux Rouge
Les crémants de Bordeaux sont des vins "mousseux" blanc ou rosé. Issus de la région de l'Entre-Deux-Mers, les spécificités de ces vins sont fortement liées à leur terroir ainsi qu'à l'influence climatique océanique et tempérée de la région. Situés entre la Garonne et la Dordogne, les vignobles de crémant bénéficient d'un taux élevé d'humidité essentiel à leur élaboration, selon la méthode champenoise.
During its long and sometimes turbulent history, the defence of Bordeaux has been ensured by controlling access to the Gironde estuary. Throughout the Médoc, fortified turrets (or “tourelles”) were built to defend the region against invaders arriving by sea. The Pavillon la Tourelle range pays tribute to this heritage, with the distinctive turret logo on the label symbolizing the benevolence of the winemakers. And it flies the flag of quality for the different terroirs of Bordeaux that make it up.
