Product detailed description
The 2015 vintage is one of the best in Bordeaux and Château La Tour de By reflects it perfectly. The wine offers a strong aroma of dark fruit, especially blackberries and blackcurrants, complemented by subtle notes of spice, cedar and slightly toasted oak.
The taste is medium to full-bodied, with well-structured, ripe tannins and balanced acidity. It is harmonious, with a pleasant depth and a long, elegantly dry finish. A classic Médoc with a very good ratio between fruitiness and structure, suitable for both immediate consumption and medium-term archiving.
This wine is in a 1.5 l bottle, which is called Magnum. The Magnum size is ideal for a gentleman for an evening out, for example.

Château La Tour de By
Founded in 1599, Château La Tour de By is one of the oldest wineries in Médoc. The name 'By' is derived from the location of the vineyards, and 'La Tour' from the tower that dominates the estate. The château itself was built in 1876.
The vineyard spans 74 hectares, with the grape variety distribution as follows: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. The vines are at least 40 years old, with some even reaching up to 100 years. The soil is gravelly, typical of the Médoc region.
