About the producer

About the producer

This is a Château we have been following closely since it was acquired by Hong Kong financier Peter Kwok in 2012. The investment in the property has seen this wine dramatically improve in the last few years. Combine this with its superb location on limestone and blue clay soils neighbouring the likes of Le Tertre-Roteboeuf and Troplong Mondot and you have one of Saint-Émilion's most exciting properties.

Every year, the estate only seems to get better; the wine has never been so concentrated and balanced. Thanks to their limestone and blue clay soils the wine never feels heavy, despite the generosity of fruit synonymous with the 2018 vintage. Combine this with 50 year old Cabernet Franc vines, 60% whole grape 'vinification integral' which brings added elegance to the wine, and you have a beautifully balanced Saint-Émilion Grand Cru with incredible focus, energy and mouthwatering minerality.

In the 2016 vintage, Château Tour Saint-Christophe garnered huge scores from the critics, fast-tracking its reputation as one of the great value estates not to be missed in Saint-Émilion. Every previous vintage has sold out on release.
