This is intense and compact with lots of mushroom, ginseng, lemon grass, dried lemon peel, tangerine, clove and white chocolate. Green mango, too. Complex and layered. Sweet, but with a savory edge and fantastic freshness. The sweetness is hidden by the botrytis power. Extremely long.

Push and pull through the palate, buidling a sense of contrast and momentum, juicy and rich texture, this is powerful, with apricot puree, white truffles, grilled almonds, citrus and peach flesh. Excellent grip though the palate.

Lively and exciting on the palate, this has energy and so much appeal in the delivery of sugary sweetness, lemon zest and spiced edges. I love the playful nature, it's quite linear and direct at the moment, less expansive than some others, taut and focused but with good power, direction and detail. Will be nice to retaste in bottle.

Recognized from the outset as a Cru Bourgeois du Médoc, Château Tour de Pez is the result of the strict selection of the finest grapes from the estate to produce a wine that first and foremost asserts its Saint Estèphe identity, expressing its origins and its terroir with intensity. Polished by expert, precise winemaking, and mellowed through contact with oak, it offers amazing finesse of tannins, silkiness, balance, and superb freshness that lingers in the mouth. An accomplished, accessible Cru Bourgeois from Saint Estèphe, certified High Environmental Quality, that offers unsurpassed value and infinite tasting pleasure. Savour it with all kinds of cuisine, but above all in good company…

Created in the seventeenth century, the land of Rabaud was acquired in 1863 by Henri de Sigalas. Forty years later, his only son, Pierre Gaston de Sigalas sold the majority of the estate. He only kept ” the jewel of Sigalas,”  a south-facing gravelly slope which remains as the current 14 hectares. The de Lambert des Granges family, heir to Château Sigalas Rabaud, perpetuates their family’s legacy by respecting the terroir and the selection of the wines in order to produce a great Sauternes.
