The History of Chateau Tour Leognan is closely related to that of Chateau Carbonnieux. In fact, the Wines produced at Chateau Tour Leognan come from the same terroir as those of Chateau Carbonnieux, and appear as the second Label of the Chateau. In 1956, Marc PERRIN acquired the Chateau and set about restoring it. His son Antony PERRIN now runs the family estate. The Chateau Tour Leognan vineyard covers 85 hectares (213 acres), half planted with white, and half with red. The White grape harvest is always among the first in the bordelais. Controlled low temperature fermentation lasts three to four weeks, and the wine is then aged in the barrel for around ten months.
Tasting Notes
Of a pale yellow color and a brilliant golden aspect, this Wine with citrus grapefruit aromas and peach fruit, also features a subtle wood note. Rich & powerful while at the same time both delicate and elegant, of perfect acidity, Chateau Tour Leognan White is indeed a well-balanced Wine.
Terroir
Deep gravel on slopes and clay-limestone.
Vinification
Manual and mechanical harvesting. Pressing under inert gas - Cold se9ling Fermentation and aging in barrels and foudres 6 months with stirring - 15% new wood.
Another great wine from this château, the 2022 Château Tour Saint Christophe checks in as 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc brought up in 25% new French oak. It has a great nose of red plums, cassis, chalky minerality, and spice, and this full-bodied Sain...
The quality of fruit and salty undertones from the limestone soil are really delicious and exciting. Medium to full body and very fine, velvety tannins that spread across the palate. Bright and crunchy at the end. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc.
Tour St. Bonnet is located in Northern part of the Medoc (north of St. Estephe). One of the Médoc’s most reliable overachievers, Château Tour St. Bonnet has been under the stewardship of the Lafon family since the 17th century. The vineyards, planted predominantly to Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with touches of Petit Verdot and Malbec, lie on gravelly soils just north of Saint-Estèphe — prime Left Bank terroir without the lofty price tag.
The 2016 vintage in Bordeaux is already the stuff of legend, and Tour St. Bonnet shows it in spades: deep cassis, graphite, and tobacco leaf framed by supple yet persistent tannins. Unlike many of its neighbors, the wine is aged in traditional large oak foudres rather than small barriques, which preserves purity of fruit and a true expression of terroir.
A classic Cru Bourgeois: structured, honest, and built to drink beautifully now or evolve gracefully over the next decade.

The 2023 Tronquoy-Lalande was picked September 6 to 26 and
