The vineyard At the heart of an arid terroir dominated by the “Mourre Nègre”, the estate benefits from a particularly favourable environment for the vines. Our 15ha vineyard are planted on hillsides facing south and cleaned up by the mistral. Château Turcan is transmitted throughout the generations and the ancestral heritage is prominent in the winery and its products. The philosophy of our wines lies in the combination of modernity and tradition that gives our wines their personality. OUR COMMITMENTS A jealous care of the vine Thanks to the year-round work of our vineyard manager and cellar master, our vines receive a particular care. All stages of vine cultivation are carried out in respect of nature and environment. The pruning is severe; the thinning before the harvest is required to ensure optimal concentration and a controlled yield. Meticulous harvest The harvest is manual or mechanical according to the plot. It is done following a plan established after an analysis of each plot and based on the end result intended for its grapes. Manual sorting is done at the entrance of the cellar. A skilful winemaking process The winery has concrete and stainless steel vats and oak barrels. Macerations are controlled to extract the best juice. Few inputs are used. We seek maximum fruit concentration to match the quality required of the estate’s wines. An aging for a long keeping The wines matured in vats develop fruity and delicate aromatic notes as well as a beautiful freshness. Some of our wines are aged in oak barrels, which give them complexity, structure and the necessary stability for the keeping.
