Chateau Tour St. Joseph Haut Médoc

Founded at the turn of the 20th century, this estate, which was then called Cru Latour Saint-Joseph, quickly proved its worth by gaining the status of “Château” as well as great renown within the village of Cissac-Médoc. The utmost care, including ageing in new oak barrels, is lavished on this prestigious wine which rubs shoulders with the equally famous vineyards of Saint-Estèphe and Pauillac. Blend : 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc. 12 months in oak barrels, one third renewed each year. A superb, garnet purple colour. A complex and warm nose intermingling aromas of exotic fruits (lychee, guava) and toasted nuances. On the palate, full-bodied and harmonious, with magnificent ripe tannins.
