"ROBERT PARKER: 87
An excellent blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, this wine offers attractive value for its superb quality. The wine has a dense ruby/purple color, nice cedary blackcurrant fruit, medium body and surprisingly soft, well-integrated tannins. This sleeper of the vintage should drink nicely for 5-8 years.| eRobertParker.com.April, 2015"
Chateau La Tour-de-By is a 74 hectare property overlooking the Gironde at Begadan planted with 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. The wines are very robust with classic earthy Medoc fruit and can age quite happily for 10-12 years if cellared correctly.
Chateau La Tour de By is one of the oldest properties in the Médoc, founded in 1599, when it was known as La Roque de By. The current picturesque chateau was constructed in 1876 and is famous for the beautiful tower, once a lighthouse, that stands in the vineyards near the chateau. The stunning vineyards directly overlook the Gironde estuary and lie on the gravelly banks adjacent to the river and the Cailloux (pebbles), provide excellent drainage. Tues22
