2011 Chateau La Tour du Pin Figeac - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé - 6 Bottles (0.75L)
6 bottles of Chateau la Tour du Pin Figeac Saint-Emilion Grand Cru (Classé). The vintage is 2011.
With its 11 Ha, Château La Tour du Pin Figeac is located on the Haute Terrasse of Figeac-Pomerol, just next to the Chateau Cheval Blanc (1er Grand Cru Classé A). And it is the clays contained in this soil of the Haute Terrasse of Figeac-Pomerol that make its terroir so great. Henri Enjalbert indicates that "These are the remains of the high and ancient Gunzian gravel terrace that the Isle and Dronne rivers together built in the early Quaternary period, coming from the Massif Central. In the subsoil, these gravels are mixed with a dust of clay and ancient sands that play a primordial role in the agrological balance of a wine-growing terroir. Beyond these ancient gravels, there appears a sedimentary subsoil of extremely penetrable molasse."
