Château La Pointe Bouquey<br />

The Château La Pointe Bouquey covers 13 hectares of vines located near the<br />

village of Saint Émilion. The vineyards are planted with three different grape<br />

varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The estate has been<br />

managed by the Pendenat family since the beginning of the 19th century. The<br />

town is renowned as much for its beautiful buildings and scenery as for its wine.<br />

Its steep, narrow, cobbled streets, overlooked by its Romanesque church and the<br />

iconic 13th-century Tour du Roy tower are a reminder of the town’s long history.<br />

Château La Pointe Bouquey has a beautiful and intense purple-blue colour,<br />

and a powerful, complex and fruity nose that reveals vanilla, chocolate, as well<br />

as woody notes. The palate is full and well-balanced, with blueberry jam and<br />

coffee flavours and boasts an elegant finish, perfect with red meats and cheese.<br />
