Product detailed description
Château Tour de Pez 2019 is a living testament to resilience and quality. Although the 2019 vintage was marked by challenging conditions – spring frosts, a rainy spring and a summer drought – the winery has overcome the challenges. Hand-harvesting, optical sorting of the grapes and a modern cold maceration method have allowed them to create a wine that will surprise.
This wine has a deep ruby red colour with violet reflections and a rich aroma, where red fruits, quince and raspberries combine with a subtle hint of menthol. On the palate, the wine is full and round, with a dense, velvety structure. Despite the robust tannins typical of Saint-Estèphe, this wine is characterized by a pleasant elegance, it is fragrant and without any harshness. The finish is balanced, with a long and pleasant aftertaste.
To fully develop the complex aromas of the wine, it is ideal to serve it at a temperature of 16 to 18 °C. We recommend decanting for 30 minutes to an hour before serving. It goes well with hearty dishes such as grilled beef, roast lamb or game. It also goes well with mature cheeses.

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.
