Château Tour Saint Christophe
About Château Tour Saint Christophe
A small estate of just 16 hectares planted on clay-limestone soil with 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the vineyard at Tour Saint Christophe cascades dramatically down centuries-old dry-stone terraces, lovingly restored by the ambitious new owner, Peter Kwok.
The property is located metres from the high-flying cult Château Valandraud, often reaching similar ratings while coming in at a fraction of the price. If you’re looking for the best value Saint-Emilion, priced like an everyday drinker but behaving like a genuine masterpiece, look no further.

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (93+)The 2017 Tour Saint Christophe is a dense, richly constituted wine loaded with tremendous energy and pure power. It is also a bit shut down; so I would prefer to give it a few years in bottle to be at its best. Black fruit, chocolate, leather, licorice and spice build into the potent, virile finish. This is a wine with tremendous promise. |

The Wine Cellar Insider (95-97)Deep, and dark in color, and equally dark and deep in its fruit, the nose pops with perfectly ripe dark red and black fruits, licorice, smoke, cherry blossoms, crushed rocks and stones. The wine has depth, sensuality, luscious textures and layers of ripe,opulent fruits. The finish lingers with layers of black and red fruits with dark chocolate that feel as good as they taste. This could be the finest vintage of Tour Sant Christophe ever produced, and that is really saying something. The wine is made from blending 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. You can age for 20-25 years. Or if you like,you can also enjoy this on the young side. |
