Domaine Tournon - Victoria Shiraz Or Syrah 2009 6x 75cl Bottles

Product Description

In 1997, true to his pioneering spirit, Michel Chapoutier set out to explore the terroirs of the oldest continent. He wanted to meet people, people like him with a passionate interest in bringing out the true character of vines. A matter of convictions, too, prompting discovery & observation. He found land awaiting its revelation. Chapoutier's aim is to invent properties, not to follow the example of others. He buys land & joins forces with major winemaking families, playing on their complementary know-how & experience The result is exceptional Shiraz wines, displaying great elegance & mineral purity. In 2002 he joined forces with Ron & Elva Laughton (Jasper Hill) in central Victoria, & at Heathcote, north of Melbourne, on a very unusual, early Cambrian soil. He has also worked with Rick Kinzbrunner on the Giaconda vineyard at Beechworth, in northeast Victoria, on a granite soil. After a brief experimental joint venture with his US importer (Terlato & Chapoutier), Maison M. Chapoutier bought two other Australian vineyards (Shays Flat & Landsborough) in the Victorian Pyrenees & set up the fully owned Domaine Tournon.
