Château La Tour De By - 2003 - Château la Tour de By
Ref: A038603
Cru Bourgeois Supérieur Médoc, Bégadan

The wines of La Tour de By, made by Marc Pagès, seem to get better and better. His 2003 has powerful plum and cassis fruitiness with velvety tannins. Excellent weight and purity of fruit are coupled with a balancing acidity. Very long in the mouth. Has to be one of the Médoc's most reliable and best value properties. Drink 2008 to 2016.

This extensive 70 hectare estate is perfectly positioned on a group of gravely ridges overlooking the Gironde whilst the château’s name comes from the tower that stands in the vineyards which was built in 1825 as a lighthouse to cover the river’s estuary. In the 1960’s, three friends purchased the estate and, since then, have built it up into one of the most successful and consistent of all the Crus Bourgeois. Marc Pagès, who currently manages the property, makes a rigorous selection when he chooses his final cuvées to bottle, discarding anything that does not come up to scratch. These are always deep-coloured, full-flavoured and concentrated wines with a clearly defined, black-berry fruitiness.

Cabernet-Sauvignon 65%, Merlot 32% and Cabernet Franc 5%
