2023 Chateau Tour Saint Christophe, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

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.

The 2023 Tour Saint Christophe has a perfumed floral bouquet that shows fine delineation compared to some of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied displaying crunchy red fruit mixed with white pepper and cedar. Quite linear toward the finish this is a finely-tuned Saint-Émilion that should age well in bottle.

The 2023 Tour Saint Christophe is a super-sized explosive Saint-Émilion. Fasten your seatbelt. It offers a rush of dense inky fruit chocolate cloves new leather and licorice. This huge flamboyant Saint-Émilion packs quite a punch. Tasted three times during which some samples have shown a slightly vegetal quality. 2026-2038
