Our story
La Tour Figeac was formerly part of Château Figeac, the origins of the latter dating to the 3rd century. In 1879 Château La Tour Figeac was separated.
Château La Tour Figeac lies the famous “Graves de Saint-EMILION” terroir renowned for producing fine wine since Roman times.


Savoir-faire
Philosophy
Upon arrival Otto M.Rettenmaier quickly instilled a new winemaking philosophy. Innovation as well as a return to ancient wine-growing practices became equally important, and while the former led to a complete renovation of the cellar, the latter encouraged him to adopt some biodynamic techniques.


The domain
The wines
The wines of Château La Tour Figeac are already inspiring when drunk young due to their roundness and finesse, yet the incredible power of the structure and body suggest huge ageing potential.


The vineyard
Viticulture
The 14,5 hectares of gravel and sand-clay-soils at the highly regarded Château La Tour Figeac are located between Château Cheval Blanc in the east, Château Figeac in the south and Pomerol appellation to the west..


The vineyard
Vinification
To further enhance the expression of the terroir is, of course, also the aim of the winemaking method and aging process at Château La Tour Figeac. From the vineyard to the vats the grapes are therefore treated with the utmost care and delicacy, preserving them and minimizing any damage and thus allow for a gentle alcoholic fermentation and further maceration.
