"La Pointe" takes its rather geometrical name from the large pointed triangular vine plot we can see near the entrance to the estate.

With its splendid two hectares of gardens and the magnificent age-old trees, Chateau La Pointe has always been a charming residence. The chateau really sprang into life under the Second Empire. Unfortunately, many details of La Pointe's history are unknown. What we do know is that, thanks to the Directoire style country house, it was one of the first two estates in Pomerol entitled to call themselves a "Chateau" in 1868. The vineyard already stretched over 22 hectares, and it remains one of the largest estates in the appellation to this day.

Tasting Notes: Dense, nicely concentrated, rich red. Nose is unmistakably Pomerol with earthy, slightly iron-rich Merlot fruit lifted with fragrance from Cabernet Franc. Fine natural sweetness on the palate, which is full of energy and already has an attractively smooth texture with tannins firming up the long, satisfying finish.

Varietal: Merlot and Cabernet Franc

Region: Pomerol, Bordeaux, France
