CHATEAU LA TOUR FIGEAC L'ESQUISSE DE LA TOUR FIGEAC 2019

This Saint-Emilion Grand Cru estate occupies a prime position between prestigious neighbors Chateau Cheval Blanc, Figeac, and Pomerol. The 15-hectare property features 25-year-old Merlot (65%) and Cabernet Franc (35%) vines thriving in ancient sand and gravel soils. Under the Rettenmaier family's stewardship and winemaker Aaron Pott's expertise, this second wine showcases the estate's commitment to quality. L'Esquisse ("The Sketch") delivers appealing minty freshness complemented by vibrant red fruits and subtle oak notes. Its supple tannins and lively acidity create a perfectly balanced, approachable expression of classic Bordeaux terroir—elegant yet refreshingly unpretentious.
