Tasting note: Pierre Lurton, the director of Cheval Blanc, has completely resurrected this estate since it was acquired by the owners of Cheval Blanc. A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc grown in clay and gravel soils, the 2009 La Tour du Pin is the finest wine I have ever tasted from this property. It reveals terrific fruit intensity along with a full-bodied unctuosity, great purity, sweet tannins, and a heady, long finish. (92-94*pts. RP, Wine Advocate)

Tasting note: Showing a lovely, intense, dark and purple color, this wine offers a very ripe nose, almost too ripe. Slightly mellow on the palate, it picks up depth and flavors on finish. This wine develops tender, silky, hedonistic and tasty. (87-88pts. JMQ, Jean-Marc Quarin)
