Château La Tour Figeac was created in 1879, when it was separated from Château Figeac.
Since Roman times, the famous “Graves de Saint-Émilion”, the privileged piece of land on which Château La Tour Figeac is located, has been devoted to winegrowing. This terroir, along with the medieval heritage of Saint-Émilion, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999.
The Rettenmaier family since 1973
In 1994, Otto Maximilian Rettenmaier arrived at Château La Tour Figeac, which belonged to his family based in Heilbronn, Germany, to set up a new management team. Fascinated by the country and the enormous potential of the terroir, he decided to take charge of the estate himself.
Membership of the privileged group of Grands Crus Classés de Saint-Emilion confirms both the exceptional quality of the Tour Figeac terroir and that of its wines.
