La Tourtine is a south-facing vineyard with a mix of clay and limestone soils, located above the village of Le Castellet. It is primarily planted to Mourvèdre, with some Grenache and Cinsault, producing wines with a firm structure and strong aging potential. The exposure to sunlight ensures full ripening, leading to a concentrated wine that often requires extended cellaring to fully express its depth. La Tourtine is known for its balance of power and refinement, forming a core part of Domaine Tempier’s identity.
