Awards | "The 2021 Tour Saint Christophe has turned out very well, delivering aromas of cherries and sweet berries mingled with hints of loamy soil and sweet new oak. Medium to full-bodied, pure and lively, it's elegantly muscular, with powdery tannins and a penetrating finish." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Black cherries, mussels, mineral, chili chocolate and dark olives. Bright and racy on the palate with medium weight in the center palate. The fresh, fine-grained tannins add a sense of heft before a linear, lengthy finish." - James Suckling "80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. 35 hl/ha. Cask sample. Lively and fresh with red-berry notes. Tension and length on the palate but sufficient fruit to add a bit of flesh. Chalky, terroir finish but nothing tough or exaggerated. Pleasing medium-term drinking. (JL)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2021 Tour Saint Christophe turned out beautifully. Dark, supple and engaging, the 2021 offers up copious dark fruit, leather, licorice, chocolate, spice and tobacco. This ample, heady Saint-Émilion delivers the goods. In this vintage, Tour Saint Christophe is not quite as opulent as it can be, but that is not a bad thing at all. It was aged 20% in foudres. Tasted two times." - Vinous "Fragrant and perfumed blackcurrants and black cherries on the nose. Bright and focussed, an instant buzz of fresh acidities and zingy fruit open the palate before the salty undercurrent shows through ending on notes of flint and graphite. Relatively lean and light, but direct with real polish to the tannins and fruit presentation. Certainly not plush, but this carries a nice proportion of density with finesse and the acidity is well balanced to the minerality and structure. Feels effortless and very enjoyable with a really salty, flinty, aniseed finish." - Decanter |
