Château Lécuyer

Red wine | Lalande-de-Pomerol AOC

Owned by the Petit family of the Tournefeuille estate, Château Lécuyer was established in 2004 and, vintage after vintage, has become a cornerstone of the Lalande-de-Pomerol appellation, offering the makings of a Grand Cru. In 2022, Château Lécuyer was taken over by Ronan Laborde of Château Clinet. The Château Lécuyer vineyard covers an area of 3.4 hectares. Aged in a small modern cellar built in 2000, this nectar comes mainly from two magnificent terroirs: the clay-gravel plateau of Lalande-de-Pomerol, which gives it generosity and pedigree, and a sandy-clay soil that brings finesse and elegance.

    Wine Enthusiast
    From a seven-acre vineyard, this wine is rich, balanced and fruity. It has an elegance and freshness reflecting the vintage. The wine, from 40-year-old vines, is packed with black fruits and ripe tannins. Drink from 2026. Roger Voss. January 2024.

    Ronan Laborde (Clinet) achète Lecuyer en septembre 2022, propriété créée par Emeric Petit (Tournefeuille) en 2004. La nouvelle équipe a effectué les vendanges et la vinification. La sélection s'est resserrée. L'assemblage, tout autre, fait la part belle au cabernet franc (25 % au lieu de 10). Et soudain tout change, tant je n'appréciais pas ce vin auparavant, lui reprochant fréquemment la présence d'une odeur métallique et froide. Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Joli nez très aromatique, sentant bon les fruits noirs. La bouche n'est que toucher charnu d'un bout à l'autre, accompagnée d'un joli éclat aromatique. Déroulé minutieux et en douceur. Finale incrachable. Assemblage : 75 % merlot, 25 % cabernet franc. Degré d'alcool : 14° - pH : 3,75. Rendement : 31 hl/ha. A consommer de préférence entre 2030 et 2045. Avril 2023.

    A dark nose full of chocolate and liquorice-laced black fruits. Supple and succulent in equal measure, the tannins have a bounce and soft chew to them while the strawberry and raspberry fruit have a mouthwatering quality with the two elements giving a balanced and medium-to-full body. This has a definite charm to it - finessed and precise - a lovely, easy-drinking Pomerol this year still with structure, definition and tons of fruit. I love it. Oenoconseil consultants. Drinking window: 2025 - 2035.

    Le bouquet de Lécuyer est frais et floral et affiche des nuances de violettes et de mûres. Légèrement crémeux en bouche, le vin est fin, équilibré et bien soutenu par sa structure. Un vin élégant et friand. 2025-2035. 88-90/100. Mai 2022.

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
    Exhibiting rich aromas of cherries, sweet berries and plums, the 2021 Lécuyer is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, with powdery tannins and a nicely balanced profile. It's derived from gravel-rich clays on the plateau of Pomerol and belongs to Emeric Petit of Lalande-de-Pomerol's Château Tournefeuille. 88-90/100. April 2022.

Château Tournefeuille

Château Tournefeuille

The place called Tournefeuille appears for the first time in 1783 in the famous map of Guyenne, established by the historian Belleyme. In 1998, the Sautarel family, owners since the 1930s, handed over responsibility for this great terroir to the Petit and Cambier families. Since 2014, the Petit family has been working to reveal the terroir of Château Tournefeuille and to modernize and renew the infrastructure. From 2011, the Château also welcomes visitors in authentic and warm guest rooms.
