Château La Pointe is one of the larger estates in the small, Right Bank Pomerol Appellation. It was founded in the mid-nineteenth century and takes its name from the unusual triangular shaped vineyards on the estate. Château La Pointe was bought by Generali France in 2007, who invested heavily in the winery, introducing enough stainless steel and concrete tanks to allow separate vinification of each vineyard parcel, ensuring only the finest make the final wine. As many other Pomerol estates continue to enjoy international recognition, and the prices to match, Château La Pointe tends to slip under the radar and consistently offers good value for money.

Clarity and depth to the blueberry and raspberry fruit, they have done an excellent job of working with a hot dry vintage to still deliver this estate’s trademark charm. Located on soils with plenty of gravel that needed careful attention, and yet this delivers a juicy, fresh core with finely shaped tannins and a moreish salinity on the finish. An excellent success. A higher percentage of Cabernet Franc than in the past, as was true also for the 2019 vintage and will be going forward. La Pointe makes wines that are often not sufficiently recognised within the starry appellation of Pomerol, and yet are consistently enjoyable and full of enticing charm. 3.63pH. A yield of 38hl/ha.
