Details
In 1879 a 91 acre section of vines was purchased by a M. Corbière to form Château La Tour Figeac (now owned by the Rettenmaier family). Two years later half the land was sold and further divided into the estates Château La Tour du Pin Figeac (Moueix) and Château La Tour du Pin Figeac (Giraud-Bélivier). It was the Château La Tour du Pin Figeac (Moueix) that was purchased in 2006 by Cheval Blanc. La Tour du Pin vineyards cover 22 acres and lie between Cheval Blanc and Figeac at the edge of the Pomerol appellation. The soil is considered the more gravelly of the three La Tour properties, closer to the conditions of neighbours Figeac and Cheval Blanc. The Grand vin is typically a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc.
