Château La Tour-du-Pin-Figeac

Producer description of "Château La Tour du Pin Figeac"

The vineyard is located in Saint-Émilion in the area of the same name (Bordeaux). The former owners of Château Figeac sold a 37-hectare section to the Corbiere family in 1879. They divided the property into two parts in 1882. One part was retained and became Château La Tour Figeac. The other part was sold and named Château La Tour du Pin Figeac. In 1923, the estate was bought by M. G. Bélivier and acquired by the Giraud family in 1972. In 1947, the estate was divided up again. The smaller part went to the Moueix family empire. It was sold to Château Cheval Blanc in 2006 and given the name Château La Tour du Pin. The larger part was finally also acquired by Château Cheval Blanc in 2022. The two original parts were thus reunited.

Previously classified as a Grand Cru Classé, the estate was declassified in 2006, which was then confirmed in 2012. The vineyards cover 19 hectares and are planted with Merlot (75%) and Cabernet Franc (25%). The long-lasting red wine is matured for 12 to 15 months in barriques, one third of which are new. The second wine is called "Clos La Fleur Figeac".

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
