Spanning 8 hectares across Pauillac and Haut-Médoc, it’s one of the last family-run estates among Pauillac’s many grands crus—18 in total, covering 85% of the appellation’s area. The same family has tended the estate for four generations. Until 1948, they produced wine as “Château La Tour Sieujean” before joining local cellar cooperatives and sharing their harvests instead of making wine on-site. In 2002, they returned to independent production under the current name. Thanks to the Médoc peninsula’s mild, sunny climate, each grape variety reaches perfect maturity, allowing them to craft excellent “Vins de Garde” for ageing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chateau Tour Sieujean","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52268151144632,"sku":"3364610072886","price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4211\/3208\/files\/8C518C1B-976D-4B77-92EE-812CF70DCB5E.jpg?v=1762913538"},{"product_id":"casale-chianti-fiasco-2024-1l","title":"Casale Chianti Fiasco 2024 1l","description":"\u003ch4\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn elegant Chianti made with Casale, an estate founded in 1770 and biodynamic since 1995.

There he works organically and with a great respect for nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cantina his aim is simply to guide the wine from vineyard to glass. Whilst the majority of his wines are bottled the year after harvest, in his parent’s garage Nino has embarked on a project to rediscover the Marsala of old. Here, old casks of various sizes hold oxidative wines in various stages of evolution. They are left to age for up to a decade, producing highly concentrated wines of astounding length and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNino’s wines possess an uncanny sense of place.
