Château La Pointe
A Directoire‑style manor announces Château La Pointe in Pomerol, one of the appellation’s rare large estates at 23 hectares. The 1868 edition of “Cocks & Féret” already placed it among the leading names, and medals in 1882 (Bordeaux) and 1883 (Amsterdam) confirmed an early culture of ambition.
Renewal gained pace after the change of ownership in 2007. From 2008 onward, soils were re‑mapped, hydromorphic zones were drained, and decisions moved decisively to a plot‑by‑plot scale. Three profiles shape the vineyard: gravel and pebbles from the Isle River terraces, clay‑gravel parcels, and sandier sectors over clay or gravel—each handled with its own timing and élevage.
La Pointe reads Pomerol through definition rather than volume: Merlot‑led structure, measured extraction, and a patience that lets terroir set the rhythm.Château La Pointe
