Professional Ratings

  • 92
    Overlooking the Pomerol plateau, this small property is rich with tannins and spice. The wine is still structured and young—a ripe wine, packed with Merlot juiciness. It will be ready to drink from 2026.
  • 92
    This is a good Lalande de Pomerol, there are big tannins as you find in many wines in this region in 2020, but this has real juice and precision behind it, and is an excellent wine. Expect bitter chocolate and espresso shots on the finish but backed up by bilberry and cassis.
  • 91
    This has aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, dark chocolate and black olives. Medium-bodied and creamy with firm, supple tannins. Focused and dark-fruited. Drink from 2024.
  • 90

    The 2020 Tournefeuille offers aromas of black cherry, graphite, spice, black pepper and green pepper, followed by a medium to full-bodied texture on the palate and rich, structured tannins as well as a sappy finish. This is an exuberant wine, made to be enjoyed over the next decade.

Chateau Tournefeuille, France
Chateau Tournefeuille Winery Video

Chateau Tournefeuille is a lovely estate that dates from the mid-18th century and was acquired by the Petit family in 1998. It is owned and managed by Emeric Petit whose family have been in the wine business since 1735. Tournefeuille refers to the “turning leaves” on the windy hill where the property lies. Located in the village of Néac, Cha^teau Tournefeuille benefits from an exceptional terroir, very similar to that of Pomerol. Its vineyards are adjacent to some of the most prestigious estates in the Pomerol region, including Château La Fleur Petrus, Château Gazin and Petrus. In fact, Tournefeuille’s vineyards share the same blue clay terroir with Petrus.

In the early years of his ownership of the estate, Emeric Petit was assisted by the famous oenologist Mr. Jean-Claude Berrouet (of Petrus) and Ms. Catherine Cohen. Today, Emeric is a rising star and making a name for himself with his consistently excellent wines. Tournefeuille is a lovely boutique estate and a prime example of the new wave of attractively priced, outstanding wine coming from the right bank of Bordeaux. It is one of the leading estates in the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation.

The vineyard is 18 hectares in size (44 acres) from a single vineyard. The vines are 40 years old in average and lie on clay-gravel soils. After manuel harvest, the grapes are sorted by hand and are fermented in concrete tanks. Vinifications are done by parcel to increase precision. The wine is aged 12-14 months in 80% new French oak before bottling. Estate grown and bottled. Sustainable and organic practices.

Today, Emeric Petit owns and manages Château Tournefeuille Lalande-de-Pomerol, Cha^teau Lecuyer Pomerol and Château La Reverence St. Emilion Grand Cru.

One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.

Lalande de Pomerol Wine

Bordeaux, France

On the northern border of the acclaimed Pomerol region, Lalande de Pomerol is an incredible source of impressive Merlot-based wines, but at a fraction of the price compared to its southern neighbor. The region has the potential to offer the same concentration of the finest in Pomerol, but typically not without a touch of appealing rusticity.
