Tasting Notes

Grilled cedar and sweet sandalwood, sappy raspberry and redcurrant fruit, this is enjoyable and a clear success in the vintage, with texture and life to the tannins. Fresh acidities here translated to mandarin peel and lemongrass. Emmanuelle Fulchi D’Aligny arrived from Château Angélus as technical director in March 2022, with Jean Christophe Meyrou director. Single point upgrade.

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.

The 2021 Tour Saint Christophe has a controlled and focused bouquet with mulberry and black cherry fruit, a touch of licorice emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and fine depth for the vintage, but it just pulls up a little short and slightly bitter on the finish. It’s not bad overall though.

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.
