History
Château La Pointe Chantecaille spans a modest area of 1.12 hectares and was under the stewardship of the Estager family from 1848 to 2020. It is located in the heart of the golden triangle which is the home to Saint-Émilion and Pomerol’s finest vineyards, situated on a pristine terroir composed of gravel and blue clay mixed with iron oxides. In 2020, the estate was acquired by Jean-Paul D’INCAU, a wine and terroir enthusiast as well as the chairman of the SGE group. Subsequently, the estate has undergone a complete renovation, including the installation of a new temperature- controlled vat room suited for tailor-made vinification. The latest vintages, which are in the process of organic conversion, bear the hallmark of the Berrouet family (renowned oenologists of the right bank).
