Château Tour de Pez was bought by the Bouchara family in 1989, who made large investments in the vineyard, the winery and in the technical facilities. These investments allow Château Tour de Pez to integrate the ranking of the Bourgeois Crus Bourgeois since 2008, which attests to the quality and regularity of this Château’s wines.
The estate was bought by Allianz in 2019, owner of Larose vineyards ((Larose Trintaudon, Larose Perganson et château Arnault). Thy hav made huge investments to modernize the vats and cellar.
