A large stretch of land 60km long, the Haut-Médoc includes around twenty villages. Mostly made up of layers of Garonne gravel, the land is known above all for the wide diversity of soils, including limestone, clay and sandy parcels. This wide variety explains the surprising differences in style and quality found among the wines of this appellation. The originality and taste of the Haut-Médoc wines certainly comes from this special terroir. The wines have a long ageing potential.

During its long and sometimes turbulent history, the defence of Bordeaux has been ensured by controlling access to the Gironde estuary. Throughout the Médoc, fortified turrets (or “tourelles”) were built to defend the region against invaders arriving by sea. The Pavillon la Tourelle range pays tribute to this heritage, with the distinctive turret logo on the label symbolizing the benevolence of the winemakers. And it flies the flag of quality for the different terroirs of Bordeaux that make it up.
