Product detailed description
Château Tour de Pez 2011 is a red wine from the prestigious Saint-Estèphe appellation in Bordeaux. Despite the more complex vintage, the wine is characterized by a beautiful finesse and elegance. The typical character of the terroir is evident in its taste and aroma, dominated by notes of red fruit, spices and delicate woody undertones, which it acquired through aging in barriques. It is a great representative of a well-balanced and structured wine from the Médoc region.
It goes well with hearty dishes such as grilled beef, leg of lamb or duck breast, which will highlight its spicy notes and soft tannins. It is also a great complement to mature cheeses, such as Comté or old Cantal.

Château Tour de Pez
Château Tour de Pez is a historic winery nestled in the prestigious Saint-Estèphe appellation of Bordeaux. With roots reaching back to the 17th century and a long-standing Cru Bourgeois classification since 1838, it represents enduring quality and tradition. In 1931 it took on its present name, and in 2019 it was acquired by Vignobles de Larose, marking the beginning of its transformation into a modern, sustainable estate.
The estate spans around 19 hectares, intriguingly fragmented into 39 separate vineyard parcels, enabling meticulous parcel-by-parcel viticulture. Its soils—gravel over clay-limestone—provide cooling and resilience in the face of climate change, helping ensure even ripening and expressive terroir-driven wines.
Winemaking blends precision with innovation. Hand-harvested grapes undergo optical sorting upon arrival. A cold pre-fermentation maceration in double-walled, chilled stainless steel vats enhances aromatic finesse. Extraction is managed using the Pulseair system, and every vinification decision is guided by sensory tasting. The wines then age for 14 months in French oak barrels (70 % new), gaining structure and silkines.
The result is wine that boldly declares its origin: expressive, terroir-centric, with fine tannins, harmonious balance, and refreshing elegance. Château Tour de Pez captures the essence of Saint-Estèphe—with power and poise in equal measure.
