Château Tour Prignac Cru Bourgeois Médoc

A red Bordeaux with clear fruit and a ready-to-drink character — not a wine for aging, but a Médoc to open now.

Château Tour Prignac is located in Prignac-en-Médoc, north of Saint-Estèphe, and with approximately 300 hectares, it is one of the largest single estates in Bordeaux. The estate holds the Cru Bourgeois classification—one of the most reliable quality levels for premium Médoc wines outside the Grands Crus Classés. Behind the château is the Castel Group, which combines industrial precision with Bordeaux expertise. The 2021 vintage was awarded a gold medal at the 2023 Concours Vinalies Internationales.

In the glass, the wine displays aromas of red cherry and blackberry, underpinned by a hint of green bell pepper—typical of the northern Médoc. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, the acidity is fresh, and the finish is medium-long with a slightly spicy note. Not a heavy, opulent Bordeaux, but a straightforward, juicy red wine that is truly easy to drink.

Recommendation: Serve at 16–17 °C. Pairs well with herbed leg of lamb, grilled entrecôte, or a strong goat cheese. Drinking window: now until 2028.
