French gardeners - do you know this viburnum?

Wonky is giving me two Viburnum tinus that she has acquired - she said the label says Viburnum tinus 'le thoureil' and she was told by the nurseryman she got them from that they were 'quite special - from France'.
Googling doesn't give us any information - do any of you know this viburnum please?

I suspect 'le Thoureil' is the town in France where the plant nursery is located. Probably from Floriplantes.
Hi Marlorena
that was all we could come up with - however, confusingly the label seems to give it as a varietal name - but sometimes these things get confused

Not that it is any assistance but there is also a Bird Cherry called Prunus padus Le Thoureil
I can only find it listed on our french sites as a Prunus as Ladybird says. Maybe BL can come up with something else. I will keep trying!
Thank you folks!
It's a puzzle
