About Tournesol Wine
Tournesol Wine is named for the tournesol, the French word for sunflower, the flower whose Latin name helianthus (sun-flower) describes its defining characteristic: it tracks the sun. Applied to wine, the name declares a philosophy of following the light wherever it leads, choosing vineyard sites for their sun exposure, grape varieties for their sun-driven character, vintages for their relationship with light and warmth.
The Napa Valley estate produces Chardonnay and Roussanne from carefully selected vineyard sources that express the sun-tracking philosophy: sites where the wine's character is most directly shaped by the quality and angle of the light that reaches the clusters during the growing season. Roussanne in particular, the Rhône variety that Tournesol has championed in Napa Valley, produces its finest expression in warm, well-lit sites where the variety's complexity can fully develop.
The appointment-only tasting provides the focused, light-following engagement that the sunflower name implies.
