The Story
A classic northern Medoc claret in the celebratory magnum format. Chateau La Tour de By sits in Begadan at the northern tip of the Medoc, a Cru Bourgeois since 1932 and promoted to Cru Bourgeois Superieur. Its gravelly vineyards along the Gironde produce a dependable, Cabernet-led blend with Merlot and Petit Verdot. The 2009 was a warm, ripe, generous Bordeaux vintage, and in a 1.5L bottle it has aged gracefully and slowly. Now mature and ready, with the larger format meaning there is no rush.
