Created in 1865, this property produced red and dry white wines under the name of Tartuguière and La Tour-Prignac. It changed hands in 1935 and the vines, which had been neglected, were replaced with a livestock operation. In 1973, a company named Château Tour-Prignac acquired the property and undertook a vast redevelopment project of both the land and the residential buildings and facilities, with vines being planted once again.

Great care is taken to maintain the vineyard in a superb condition, equal care is applied to the vinification and aging processes in order to give the wines the qualities for which they are renowned: flavour, finesse, richness and a fine bouquet.
