Château La Pointe is located in the heart of Pomerol, one of Bordeaux's most prestigious wine regions. The estate's history dates back to the 19th century and benefits from a terroir renowned for its unique mix of gravel, clay, and sand. This terroir gives the wines remarkable depth and complexity, setting them apart from other regions. Year after year, Château La Pointe reflects this quality and grandeur. The 2020 vintage is another example of the estate’s skill, showcasing the opulence and refinement of the Pomerol region. The combination of tradition and modern expertise makes Château La Pointe a fixture in Pomerol. The wines offer finesse, elegance, and a structure that promises aging potential.
The color reveals a deep ruby red. Intense violet hues combine with a brilliance that reflects the perfect balance between ripe fruit and delightful aromatic freshness.
On the nose, complex aromas of small wild black fruits blend with floral notes of peony and violet, along with spicy touches of dried black pepper and sandalwood.
On the palate, the wine is opulent and elegant, enchanting with its purity, a gentle onset, and a pleasing tension.
The gentle extraction process in winemaking gives this vintage a harmonious balance, fine, silky tannins, and a pleasant acidity. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and the wine then matures for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels.
23 hectares on gravel and pebble soils of the Isle terraces, with clay-gravel soils and sandy soils over clay or gravel.
