Wine Spectator

“A romantic tower nestled among the vineyards gives the estate its name. Once again, this estate offers a beautiful wine that is ‘classic yet not austere,’ as one taster put it. Expect a very pleasant and well-balanced Saint-Estèphe with a fruity (red currant, black currant, blackberry) and smoky bouquet, and a dense, balanced palate built on well-integrated tannins. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins). A generous red with a very indulgent finish!

Wine rated 15/20 (Very good wine)

Rated Estate (2015 Guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire lineup)

About the wine:

A silky wine with a lovely velvety texture and fine tannins.

About the estate:

The medieval tower is no longer standing, but the Termes plot, at the entrance to the village of Saint-Corbian, has survived and is still home to the 16-hectare vineyard acquired by the Anney family.

Wine rated 15.5/20 (Very Good)

About the wine:

The intense nose reveals spicy aromas and animal notes against a backdrop of dark fruits. With a supple attack, it displays great body supported by a beautiful tannic structure. Fruity nuances and its generous character lend it a luscious finish.

About the estate:

A magnificent tower of Gallo-Roman origin gave its name to this estate in Saint-Estèphe, which owes its reputation to the Anney family. Christophe, who has been at the helm since 1979, has worked tirelessly to develop and modernize the estate. In recent years, the wines produced here have consistently been delicious, with a style that remains very approachable and elegant.
