Château La Tour Figeac - L'Esquisse de La Tour Figeac Saint-Émilion 2019 (750ml) La Cote

Château La Tour Figeac - L'Esquisse de La Tour Figeac Saint-Émilion 2019 (750ml) La CoteChteau La Tour Figeac dates back to 1879, when it was parceled off from Chteau Figeac. Today it's run by the Rettenmaier family, who have their sandy clay and gravel vineyards planted to 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. Neighbors include Chteau Cheval Blanc and the Pomerol appellation is nearby. Consulting winemaker Stphane Derenoncourt uses that same ratio of Merlot and Cabernet Franc for their second wine, L'Esquisse. *Biodynamic*
