Chateau La Pointe

Château La Pointe, also known as La Pointe Pomerol, is one of the best-known wineries in the Bordeaux wine region . This famous winery is best known for its Merlot wine. The winery has a rich history dating back to the 18th century. Below is a blog about the winery and the ripening potential of the wines.

The Origin of Château La Pointe

Ch. La Pointe is located in the Pomerol region. The winery is known worldwide for its elegant and refined red wines . This winery takes its name from the conveniently located ridge nearby ("pointe" in French). In the area, La Pointe has a great reputation for not only good wine, but also very affordable wines for this region.

Merlot in the Spotlight

One of the most striking features of Château La Pointe is the use of Merlot as the dominant grape variety. Merlot thrives in the Pomerol and Saint-Emilion regions and contributes to the smooth and seductive flavor profiles of La Pointe wines. Merlot provides the generous juice of the wines. In this part of Bordeaux, Merlot thrives because it thrives in:

• clay
• chalk

It is not entirely coincidental that this is the most common surface.

Château La Pointe has a long maturing potential

Another notable aspect of Château La Pointe wines is their impressive aging potential. These wines can easily be cellared for several decades, evolving in complexity and flavor. The combination of Merlot and the specific terroir of Ch. La Pointe contributes to this long-term ripening potential.
