Chateau Tour de BY Medoc Bordeaux 75cl - French Red Wine

Château La Tour de By is a large Cru Bourgeois estate located in Bégadan at the viticultural northern extremes of the Médoc. The actual Château is a stately building dating back to 1876 and was bought in 1965 by Messieurs Pages, Cailloux and Lapalu who set about extending the cuvier and installing new cellars. Today, cousins Frédéric Le Clerc and Benjamin Richer des Forges, grandson's of the late Marc Pagès run the property very capably.

Grapes for Château La Tour de By are sourced from the estate's own beautiful gravelly plots, framing the famous Tower and overlooking the Gironde estuary. The Grand Vin is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot and has become a benchmark expression from the Médoc. Matured in barrel for 12 months La Tour de By offers aromas of red fruits and a touch of vanilla and toasted notes. The palate is full and fleshy with great length. A wine with great capacity to age and should handsomely go well into the 2030s!

Primary Grape(s): Cabernet Sauvignon , Merlot
