Château Tour de Pez 2020 is a captivating red wine that bears the imprint of a challenging but successful vintage. Despite initial challenges such as frost, rain and drought, careful work in the vineyard and modern winemaking techniques have resulted in a wine with rich structure and elegance.
This wine has an intense and beautiful purple color. The nose opens with beautiful floral notes that refer to well-drained soils, gradually adding aromas of black fruit and spices. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with a dense and velvety tannic structure that is not stereotypically harsh for Saint-Estèphe, but on the contrary elegant and balanced. The finish is fresh and full-bodied, with a long and pleasant aftertaste.
For an optimal tasting experience, serve the wine at a temperature of 16 to 18 ° C. It goes great with hearty dishes such as roasted leg of lamb, traditional cassoulet or mature Comté 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.
