“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, blackcurrant, 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!

Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
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. Its fruity nuances and generous character lend it a rich, indulgent finish.

About the estate:
This magnificent Gallo-Roman tower 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.
