Grown with the greatest care and attention since 1928 by generation after generation of the Goudineau family, Château Tour de Saint Pierre produces an perfectly-balanced wine which is supple, fine and mellow with all the characteristics which have built the international reputation of the wines of Saint-Emilion. We should emphasize the fact that this magnificent estate is farmed without using chemical weedkillers or insecticides. As well as this, the grapes are picked by hand, in the traditional way. A remarkable wine, racy with a beautiful garnet-red colour, a full-bodied, aromatic wine, rich in colour and substance with a long bouquet of ripe red fruit, leather and underwood. Excellent for laying down, characteristic of the appellation, full-bodied and spicy with firm, ample tannins and a lot of distinction.
