Château Tourril

Minervois reds from Grenache and Syrah, rated by major critics.

Château Tourril sits in Minervois, the sun-baked corner of Languedoc-Roussillon where Mediterranean heat and limestone soils shape dense, structured reds. The winery's portfolio centers on Grenache and Syrah—grapes that thrive in this climate—often joined by Carignan for earthiness and grip. Philippe, the flagship, binds all three varieties into a wine that has drawn attention from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast. La Tour du Tourril Havana pairs Grenache with Syrah for a leaner, more elegant expression, while the Minervois Rouge offers a direct statement of the appellation's character. These are wines built on the region's natural strengths: ripe fruit, mineral tension, and the kind of tannin structure that rewards patience.
