Tour Pourret Castle (formerly Ambe Tour Pourret) : info and guided tour

Introduction to Château Tour Pourret (formerly Ambe Tour Pourret)

Château Tour Pourret is a winery located in Saint-Émilion, at 30 Route de Rouffiac, in the wine-growing landscape of the Libournais. Its former name, Ambe Tour Pourret, reflects a domain history rooted in local tradition, at the heart of an appellation world-renowned for its Bordeaux red wines.

The site presents itself as both a production and tasting property, typical of the wine estates of Saint-Émilion. Its appeal lies as much in its winemaking activity as in its place within a terroir shaped by hillsides, limestone, and the vineyard plots that surround the medieval town.

When visiting, what stands out most is the ensemble formed by the estate buildings and the surrounding vines. The place evokes the workings of a Bordeaux wine château, where architecture, wine culture, and the identity of the territory speak to one another. It is this local dimension that makes Château Tour Pourret distinctive and memorable.

The estate is well known to lovers of Saint-Émilion wines who want to discover a production site directly connected to its surroundings. While not a monument in the classical sense, it contributes to the discovery of the commune’s wine heritage, between landscape, expertise, and the continuity of a domain name.
