history
The 7.7 hectare estate is located in the village of Saint-Pey d’Armens, on a gentle hillside near the Dordogne River, set on deep clay soil. The vineyard is planted with 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and 5% Carmenere - a hidden gem within the Saint-Emilion region.
Vineyard
Spanning 7.7 hectares on a gentle hillside in Saint-Pey d'Armens near the Dordogne River, Château Touzinat thrives on deep clay-limestone soils. The 55-year-old vines—predominantly Merlot and Cabernet Franc, complemented by a rare parcel of Carmenère—benefit from high-density planting and mindful soil management with cover crops. Restricting yields to just 35 hl/ha ensures exceptional berry concentration, preserving fresh natural acidity and a deeply authentic expression of Saint-Émilion.
Winemaking
40 days of vinification in concrete vat, followed by 12 months of ageing, 85% in oak barrel and 15% in amphora.

On the palate great power and elegance, with a fine tannic structure.
