Weinwisser

Medium garnet-purple. Fresh, slightly herbal bouquet, notes of rhubarb and red currants, a rather slender attack. Elegant, easy-drinking palate, once again an acidity in the extract, slightly rough-edged, better than before, but not really good yet.

René Gabriel

The first vintage under the new “shorter” name, overseen by the Cheval Blanc team. The estate was called La Tour du Pin Figeac Moueix up to the 2005 vintage. Medium garnet-purple. Fresh, slightly herbal bouquet, notes of rhubarb, red currants, a rather slender entry. Elegant, easy-drinking palate, again with a clearly noticeable acidity in the extract, slightly rough-edged; better than before but not yet truly good.

André Kunz

Sweet, fragrant bouquet with raspberries and vanilla. Light, fruity, silky, sweet palate with fresh fruit and fine tannins. Long, sweet finish. 16/20 2011 - 2020

Jean-Marc Quarin

News: this vineyard, adjacent to Cheval Blanc, was purchased in July 2006 by Albert Frères. It was called La Tour du Pin Moueix and has just been renamed La Tour du Pin. At last, purity; at last, good balance on the palate. A juicy, caressing wine, with good body, and moreover flavorful and aromatic. The most discerning among you will notice tannins that could still be improved.

Description

The Complexity of a Great Saint-Émilion Wine

A superb estate in the prestigious Saint-Émilion appellation on the Right Bank of the Bordeaux region, Château La Tour du Pin captivates with its elegant, refined and supple style.

Acquired in 2006 by Château Cheval Blanc, the property oversees an exceptional vineyard located not far from Pomerol, on a superb clay-gravel and clay-siliceous terroir comprising 11 hectares of vines.

Displaying all the typicity of a great Saint-Émilion, Château La Tour du Pin 2006 reveals superb aromatic complexity, blending notes of black fruit with more evolved aromas of undergrowth and leather. On the palate, the wine is carried by the velvety texture of a generous, beautifully refined body. A complex and elegant Saint-Émilion.
