Fragrant nose of blackcurrants, black cherries, sandalwood, nutmeg, kelp and dried lavender. Full-bodied with firm, polished tannins. Well framed, with a deep, fleshy core of dark fruit. Excellent second wine.
93 Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast
Dominated by Merlot, this is a luscious wine. It has black fruits and ripe tannins giving the wine a generous and rich character. Expect this wine to age well. Drink from 2025.

The 2019 Les Tourelles de Longueville is a blend of 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 68% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, harvested from the 18th of September to the 11th of October. It is being aged in French oak barrels, 30% new, for 12 months. The production of this wine represents 28% of the harvest. Very deep purple-black colored, it features captivatingly pure crushed black plums and fresh blackberry scents on the nose with suggestions of tilled soil, pencil lead, licorice and charcoal with a waft of bay leaves. The full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating black fruits with a wonderfully plush texture and just enough freshness in the background, finishing long and earthy.
90-92 Antonio Galloni - Vinous
The 2019 Les Tourelles de Longueville is a dark, somber wine. Black cherry, heavy torrefaction, graphite, licorice, cloves, leather and pipe tobacco wrap around the palate in a serious Pauillac. Somber and introverted, the 2019 is in no mood to show all its cards today. In a vintage in which to many wines are bright, Tourelles has a real sense of baritone-like intensity. The 2019 is more brute power than elegance.
91 James Molesworth - Wine Spectator
Shows the rich, warm fruit profile of the vintage, with a nice, slow gush of plum sauce and steeped black currant as well as hints of anise, licorice root and singed cedar. Steady, focused finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2033.
