Haut-Médoc 2016 | Range | Château Tourteran

Château Tourteran is the second wine of Château Ramage la Batisse. Located in Saint-Sauveur near Pauillac and a host of world-renowned Grand Cru Classé estates. 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.

This cru bourgeois from the Haut-Médoc appellation produces attractive wines in great vintages, and produces a wine with a powerful bouquet that is vinified according to very traditional methods.
