Château Tourteran is located in Saint-Sauveur near Pauillac and its famous Crus Classés. It used to encompass plots from the former estates of Ramage, La Bâtisse and Tourteran that now all adjoin into a single estate.
An 18th century Manor House stands in the centre of the property. The MACIF –a mutual insurance company – has owned the property since 1986. It has invested heavily in improving and maintaining the vineyard and cellars in line with Bordeaux traditions and in order to consistently produce high-quality wines.
The property’s motto is “Rigourand Quality”.
The vines are pruned short and thinned prior to harvesting to ensure optimal maturity. Harvesting is mechanical and the grape-harvest is sorted in the cellar. The vinification is traditional and each vat is both thermo-regulated and monitored individually. The on-skin fermentation at 28°C then lasts 12 to 21 days. Each year, Château Tourteran wines win many medals, awards and mentions in the most renowned competitions and specialised press in France and worldwide.
