Tasting notes
FINE+RARE, Apr 2025

The 2024 Tour Saint-Christophe feels a little closed at this youthful stage, hinting at florals. Although it’s not giving much away on the nose, the palate is dense and juicy, with concentrated fruit. There’s a chalky grip to the tannins, with a tight minerality and mouthwatering acidity that complements the fruit. 13% alcohol and 3.35pH. Blend: 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc

Black raspberries, cassis, graphite, and crushed stone intermixed with a gorgeous floral character all emerge from this deep purple-hued effort. Based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, it's medium-bodied and concentrated, with ripe, polished tannins, a pure, seamless texture, and a serious, mineral-laced finish.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Skips out with energetic notes of juicy raspberries and fresh cherries, plus hints of rose bud tea and fallen leaves. The light to medium-bodied palate is tightly wound with great tension and vivacity, finishing long and fragrant. Impressive!

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.
