CHATEAU TOUR SAINT FORT

Through its history, Château Tour Saint-Fort is a witness to the recent history of Bordeaux wines. Like him, many “small” castles have sometimes disappeared over the last centuries. The production crises which struck, notably between 1850 and 1900 (arrival of Oidium, Phylloxera, and Downy Mildew in Bordeaux), and/or economic crises, got the better of many properties. Thus Château Tour Saint-Fort throughout its history has been called “Maison Cazeaux”, Château Pineau, Cru Tour Pineau, and finally Tour Saint-Fort. The link between these different owners: the land, the vines and some vestiges. You can still see the old vat house, it was probably built at the end of the 19th century (the gable that formed the central bay has however been levelled). It is the only remaining element of the old vintage, the Tour du Château Pineau, with the surrounding wall.
