Tour Saint Christophe

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 95.0

Classified Grand Cru Classé in 2022 after a decade of ownership by the Kwok family, Château Tour Saint Christophe is an estate on the rise. Its vineyard is unique, seeing the vines planted on steep and narrow terraces in neat rows. These centuries-old dry-stone terraces sit on a bed of clay-limestone terroir and are planted with Merlot (c.80%) and Cabernet Franc (c.20%). The final blend is aged in 60% new French oak barrels. In turn, Château Tour Saint Christophe have created a refined, elegant, and textured wine that is punctuated by a powerful nose of ripe cassis and warm spices.

A spicy, fresh and intense red on the nose with chocolate. Medium to full body and very fine tannins that give a creamy texture. Juicy and long. A blend of 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Want to drink it now, but better after 2022.

This estate made a stunning 2017, and I continue to love this wine. A typical blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Chateau Tour Saint Christophe has remarkable purity in its black raspberry and blueberry fruits as well as complex spice, candied violet, spring flower, and cedary herb aromas and flavors. Possessing medium to full-bodied richness, incredible tannins, and flawless balance, it’s already accessible, as are most 2017s, yet is going to shine for 20 years or more.
