Notes of violet, dark berries, spices, smoke and mulberries preface the 2024 Tour Saint Christophe, a medium-bodied, enrobing and round wine with good depth at the core, a lively mid-palate and velvety tannins, concluding with a long, ethereal finish. This is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc.

The 2024 Tour Saint Christophe is a very pretty, polished wine. Dark cherry, plum, new leather, mocha, incense and espresso build nicely, filling out the layers. Medium in body and pliant, with fine balance, Tour Saint Christophe is all charm. Attractive floral and spice notes brighten the finish.

Lovely aromas, rose petals, violet and strawberries. Sleek and shiny, this has bright fruit with high acidity that gives energy and buzz to the expression. It’s clean and focused, really quite pure with tons of mineral aspects too - pencil lead, graphite and wet stone with some salty, iron touches too. It leans into the vintage, it’s not weighty, but there’s detail to this with tension and freshness. It might put on a bit of density during ageing. 25% new oak. 335pH. A yield of 38hl/ha.
