Château La Tour de By

 

Soil, microclimate and grape varieties

Crossed by the 45th parallel, the Medoc peninsula is located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gironde Estuary. The Medoc has a warm, humid climate with a great deal of sunshine. The region's two large bodies of water have a moderating influence on the temperature, creating a perfect microclimate for viticulture.

Chateau La Tour de By, situated close

to the banks of the Gironde Estuary ary

on a gravelly rise, has an ideal terroir

(soil + microclimate)

for producing quality wines.

Le château

The wine is made with three premium grape varieties, which complement each other and create a blend which is greater than the sum of its parts. Cabernet Sauvignon (65%) provides a great deal of finesse, good fruit, and ageing potential. Merlot (50%) contributes softness and richness as well as helping the wine to age well. Petit Verdot (5%) adds body and colour.
