Château Tour Saint Christophe, Saint Émilion Terrasses de Tour St Christophe 2020

Château Tour Saint Christophe Terrasses de Tour St Christophe 2020 is a refined Saint-Émilion red shaped by one of the appellation’s most distinctive landscapes. Produced from vines planted in narrow terraces on the château’s clay-limestone slopes, it combines fresh fruit, lively structure and a subtle touch of oak. The historic terraces, some dating back several centuries, give the wine a strong sense of place.

Tasting Notes
The nose opens with inviting aromas of ripe blackcurrant, complemented by delicate hints of pepper and dried hay. A discreet note of wood adds further aromatic complexity without overshadowing the fruit. On the palate, the wine is fresh, taut and juicy, with a focused structure and a pleasingly long finish. Its balance between fruit, freshness and fine tannic grip makes it enjoyable now, while the 2020 vintage should develop added softness and complexity over the next several years. Decanting can help reveal more of its aromatic depth in its youth.

Production
The Château Tour Saint Christophe vineyard is located in Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, on the edge of Saint-Émilion. Its vines are planted in tightly spaced rows across narrow terraces overlooking historic clay-limestone soils. The grapes are fermented in concrete vats, with maceration and fermentation lasting approximately 10 to 20 days, helping preserve freshness while building structure and depth.

Food & Serving
Serve this Saint-Émilion red slightly below room temperature, at around 16–18°C. It is a natural match for roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck, mushroom dishes and mature hard cheeses. For drinking now, decant for around 30–60 minutes to allow the wine’s fruit and subtle oak notes to open; older bottles may require gentler handling and only brief decanting if needed.
