Terrasses Tour Saint Christophe 2015 (1x75cl)

Chateau Tour Saint Christophe is located in Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes at the frontiers of Saint-Emilion. This property was acquired by Peter Kwok and his daughter Karen in 2012 and overlooks beautiful centuries-old drystone terraces on a clay-limestone terroir. About 1.5 km of dry-stone terraces have been repaired by hand, a two-year process to preserve the appearance of these unique terraces of Saint-Emilion. 60,000 bottles of wine made of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc are produced every year. The wine is matured for 15 months in 40% new French oak barrels, 40% of 1 year-old and 20% of 2 year-old barrels. Les Terrasses de Tour Saint Christophe is a wine made from the young vines that do not go into the “grand vin”. Nice nose of crushed berries. Black cherry, liquorice, elegant on the palate and well balanced. Round wine, good structure with elegant tannins on a finish with slightly oaky notes. The minerality that is specific to Tour Saint Christophe is well represented here.
