Château Tour Prignac Cru Bourgeois Médoc

Red Bordeaux with clear fruit and a character ready to drink — not a wine for cellaring, but a Médoc to open now.

Château Tour Prignac is located in Prignac-en-Médoc, north of Saint-Estèphe, and with around 300 hectares, it is one of the largest single estates in the Bordeaux region. The winery holds the Cru Bourgeois classification — one of the most reliable quality levels for upscale Médoc wines outside of the Grands Crus Classés. Behind the Château is the Castel group, which works with industrial precision and Bordeaux experience. The 2022 vintage was awarded gold at the Concours Vinalies Internationales 2023.

In the glass, the wine shows aromas of red cherry and blackberry, underscored by a hint of green bell pepper — typical for the northern Médoc. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, the acidity structure is fresh, and the finish is medium-long with a slightly spicy note. Not a heavy, opulent Bordeaux, but a straightforward, juicy red wine with real drinkability.

Recommendation: Serve at 16–17 °C. Pairs well with leg of lamb with herbs, grilled entrecôte, or a strong goat cheese.
