2023 Château Tour Saint Christophe

The quality of fruit and salty undertones from the limestone soil are really delicious and exciting. Medium to full body and very fine, velvety tannins that spread across the palate. Bright and crunchy at the end. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. (04/2024)

A killer bottle of wine in the making, the 2023 Château Tour Saint Christophe checks in as a normal blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc that's resting in just 25% new French oak, with the balance in once-used barrels and a small amount in foudre. It sports a deep purple hue as well as a rocking bouquet of cassis and black raspberries interwoven with spring flowers, hints of leather, and a brilliant sense of minerality. Medium to full-bodied, with juicy acidity, ripe tannins, and beautiful overall balance, it's another riveting wine from this estate. (05/2024)

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Tour Saint Christophe reveals a very pretty perfume of violets, black cherries, and mulberries followed by nuances of Sichuan pepper and cumin seed. The medium to full-bodied palate has vibrant black berry flavors with a velvety texture and great tension, finishing with a spicy kick. (05/2024)
