Half-Bottles Château La Tour De By, 2004 - 2004 - Château la Tour de By
Ref: A938604
Cru Bourgeois Supérieur Médoc, Bégadan

We consider this one of the 'best value buys' of the vintage and Marc Pagès' wine stood proud in some very senior company at the UGC tasting. Marc's 2004 is quintessential claret with richness and weight. It will require another 3 or 4 years before the tannins soften down. Drink 2009 to 2017.

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%
