Château Turcan

PRESENTATION

In 1860, Louis Turcan, a pharmacist and winemaker, planted the first vines on the property, which saw a resurgence in winemaking in 1980. Now in its 6th generation, the estate maintains a balance of modernity and tradition to craft unique wines. Vine cultivation prioritizes a respect for the environment, employing short pruning and green harvesting for optimal yield control. Harvesting is meticulous, combining manual and mechanical methods, with sorting at the cellar entrance.

But our sportsman didn’t let that stop him. He bought a bottle of traditional Réunionese rum in a supermarket and spiced it up with Espelette chilli pepper – and it was a hit! This story also demonstrates their driving philosophy: that the quality of their ingredients is essential. They create flavored rums using fresh fruits, without the addition of coloring, preservatives, or artificial flavors. Their commitment to authenticity is also reflected in the use of Réunion Island rum. The fresh fruits used primarily come from family-owned agricultural lands, an approach that strengthens their connection to their local roots and contributes to supporting the agricultural communities on the island.
By doing so, they share not only their passion for rhum arrangé, but also the varied delights of Reunion Island, creating a complete experience for their customers.
