Description
The complexity and smoothness of a Saint-Estèphe wine
The estate
Acquired in 1989 by the Bouchara family, Château Tour de Pez has undergone a real renaissance thanks to the work undertaken on the property, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. From one vintage to the next, the estate has distinguished itself among the references of the Saint-Estèphe appellation thanks to its precise and high quality wines. With a strong identity thanks to the pronounced presence of Merlot, the wines of this Cru Bourgeois offer the experience of great elegance combined with a significant ageing potential.
The vineyard
Château Tour de Pez is a Saint-Estèphe wine that stems from a 30-hectare vineyad planted on soils made up of Gironde gravel and clay-limestone soils.
The vintage
2022 was a year marked by strong climatic instability, punctuated by episodes of frost and hail, but also by a significant summer drought. Thanks to its resilience, the vine resisted this important hydric deficit, of about 50% over the 3 summer months. Despite low yields, this vintage reveals a very high quality.
Blend
Merlot (62%)
Cabernet Sauvignon (30%)
Cabernet Franc (8%).
