Château LA POINTE 2006
Château La Pointe is located in the Pomerol appellation, on the right bank of Bordeaux. The property dates from 1845, and has been controlled by the d'Arfeuille family since 1941. Since 2006, it has been owned by the Generali France insurance company. Since then, several key improvements have been made in both viticulture and winemaking.
Château La Pointe is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc . The wine is aged in oak barrels. The 1996 vintage for Bordeaux was extremely good : a mild winter and a warm spring with March bringing significant heat. A hot and dry September favored the ripening of the grapes.
Grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Franc
