James Suckling: 91 Points

A riper expression of Pauillac, this carries poached plums, black cherry compote and blackberries on smooth, rich and velvety tannins. Softer and riper style here. Try from 2020

The palate is fruity, well-balanced, well-built and offers juiciness, a slight freshness, a good definition, a slight acid frame, a good grain, a good juiciness, finesse as well as a slight fat.

Description

Chateau Tour Sieujean

Château Tour Sieujean is a family wine estate located in the commune of Saint-Laurent-du-Médoc, in the south-west of the Pauillac appellation. Its vines cover 8 hectares in Pauillac and Haut-Médoc. This domain is one of the very last domains with a family dimension among the many Grands Crus of Pauillac – there are 18 in total and represent 85% of the area of ​​the appellation.

The 10th century feudal tower watches over this vineyard planted on sumptuous gravelly hilltops and worked like a garden.
