Château Tour Saint Christophe - Saint-Émilion Grand Cru - Red - 2017 :

 

The Distinctive Terroir of Tour Saint Christophe

As a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, Château Tour Saint Christophe is celebrated for its stunning terraced vineyards on the famed clay-limestone soils. This Right Bank claret delivers a luxurious and structured profile, reflecting the meticulous, hands-on viticulture of its unique landscape.

Wine Profile & Notes

The wine presents a commanding, deep ruby-garnet hue. The aromatic intensity is captivating, with layers of ripe blackcurrant and plum, intertwined with classic notes of cedar, nutmeg, cinnamon stick, and a whisper of fragrant earth. On the palate, it is fleshy and cohesive, boasting a beautiful poise. The tannins are soft, plush, and elegantly played, ensuring a long, flavourful, and mineral-driven finish that promises great reward with bottle age.

Food Matching & Service

• Serving Suggestion: Best served at 16-18°C. Allow 2 hours of decanting to fully express its complexity.
• Drinking Window: While enjoyable young with air, the true character emerges after 5-10 years, with potential to age for decades.
