Description
Château Tour de Pez is our latest acquisition, our most recent challenge, and our new source of pride. Situated in the Saint Estèphe appellation, it is a three-centuries old estate that shares part of the exceptional Pez lands with other great names. Its exacting terroir offers magnificent grapes in return for fine, delicate, precise work, in both the vines and in the cellar. Since 2019 we have applied the very best of our skills including hand picking, optical sorting and temperature control. Château Tour de Pez is an emblematic and expressive Saint Estèphe, capable of asserting its power with rare grace and finesse.
