Chateau La Tour du Pin, Figeac Saint Emilion Grand Cru, 2016

This property opposite Cheval Blanc on the border with Pomerol continues to impress.

Once part of the legendary Chateau Figeac, quality has risen in this offshoot dramatically under the guidance of Pierre Lurton.

In 2006, it was actually purchased by Cheval Blanc, meaning you get not just the climate, soil, and aspect of the great house, but the technology and talent too.

Grand Cru Classé until 2012, this fabulous wine is written into Bordeaux lore - and at an intersection with a vintage as great as 2016, this is surely a must-buy.
