Château La Tour de By

Château La Tour de By is a 94-hectare estate in the heart of the Médoc vineyards in the Bordeaux region. Classified as a Médoc Cru Bourgeois since 1932, the average age of the Château La Tour de By vineyard is close to 40 years, planted exclusively with noble grape varieties (65% Cabernet-Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet franc and 2% Petit Verdot). It benefits from a magnificent terroir, the natural cradle of some of the finest Médoc wines, partly composed of Garonne gravel.

Since the 1980s, Château La Tour de By has given priority to ecological methods of disease and pest management, in order to minimize the use of chemical products by playing on the complex interactions between harmful and beneficial organisms. On the vinification side, vatting at Château La Tour de By is long - from 3 to 5 weeks - and the wine is aged in stave oak barrels (30% new) for around 16 months in the perfectly air-conditioned, half-buried ageing cellar.
