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.
Potential Drinking Window 2024-2040

Nuanced nose of black fruits and perfume, very pretty and appealing. Round and unctuous on the palate, but not so big or bold, more refined and stylish. Very charming with the perfume really evident on the palate, so floral which I really like. The fruit has energy and this is nicely chewy with good acidity. Everything in balance just lightly presented. It's calm but confident not trying too hard with some really appealing aspects.
