Product description
En Primeur Château La Pointe will be available for delivery or storage once it lands in the UK, usually two years following the en primeur offer.
Château La Pointe is a large estate that can trace its history back to 1845. It was originally owned by the Chaperon family who was responsible for building the elegant Directoire-style château. In the 1868 edition of Charles Cocks’ Bordeaux et Ses Vins, Edouard Féret lists La Pointe as among the finest growths in Pomerol and goes on to say that the wines ‘are noteworthy for their finesse, bouquet and beautiful colour.’ The property has been owned by the d’Arfeuille family since 1941 and has been owned and managed by Stéphane d’Arfeuille since 1975. The property is located in the southwestern part of the Pomerol appellation, near the city of Libourne. It consists of 21 hectares of vineyards planted with 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel vats and the wine is matured in small oak barriques, 33% new, for 15-18 months. Consistently one of Pomerol’s best-value buys.
En Primeur pricing is per case as specified and excludes UK duty and VAT, which will be charged at the prevailing rate when the wine is released from bond for delivery. Bonded storage is available. Onward delivery or transfer is not included and can be quoted for on request. Free delivery on orders over £100 does not apply to bonded or en primeur wines.
